Addition to Requester Notifications
Hi Everyone, One option I was wondering if we could add / change would be the emailing of the requester. Right now as it stands when you change a helpdesk ticket anytime (changing the category, technician, time due, etc) the requester will get notification. That's fine in some cases, but it can also be a bit overkill. There's an option when you add notes to the ticket to email the technician who it's assigned to. This is a handy feature if multiple technicians are working on the ticket, but it can
Importing "Company" field from AD?
Hi, I am trying to import requesters from Active Directory. But it seems that I cannot choose or Map the AD field "Company". I can only choose from the default fields on the import screen. Since we are "a lot" of companies this field is vital when associating assets to owners. How Can I select other AD fields to be included in the Requesterimport?? Regards Erling
Hide the Site field from Requester View
Brand new implementation of SDP here. Hello everyone. I'm setting up my templates and I don't see a way to make the Site field go away from Requester view. My reason for wanting this is that some time back, application developers used the Department field in AD for something that is a unique number to each user, not a department. There's no way for me to get anything meaningful out of the Department field at this time. I don't want the requesters to see "Not assigned to any site" and not be
How to upgrade technician number for SDP

Can not log in through mobile portal
I have just upgraded to the latest version of SD+. When I go to the site on my iPhone it recognizes and redirect to the mobile screen with the login. When I login with my administrator username and password it comes back with Username or Password is incorrect. I can login with the same information through the full standard portal. Also it is having me choose a domain which we have never seen and do not use LDAP. I have attached the screenshot. Thank you JW Joe@terminationsite.com

SSL and Non-SSL
Hi, is it possible to activate 443 and 8080, so that both ports are available? I want to work with the API but have problems to use them in SSL mode. Maybe it is possible only the "/servlets/RequestServlet" (and so on) to work on 8080 or a different port, but http not https. Thanks for your help in advance. Cheers Armin
prompt when request already picked up
Is there anyway to prompt a tech when they attempt to pick up a request ticket that has been picked up by a different tech already? We have had issues with one tech picking up a ticket, and then another tech see's the request as "not assigned" because the page has not refreshed. The second tech picks up the ticket and we now have two techs working on the same issue because each thinks the ticket it theirs.

Department and technician
In a configuration like this: Site 1 Department 11 Department 12 ... Site 2 Department 21 Site 3 Department 31 there is a way to configure specific technician for department?

Requestors being added automatically
Hi everyone, I've noticed in our service desk software under requesters, the list continues to grow. I've turned off the feature that automatically adds unknown users, but it still does. I'm sure our setup has something to do with it. Users call and if we don't answer, it leaves a voicemail recording in the helpdesk email box with that users number. Service desk periodically goes out and grabs the emails, and imports them in. The problem is each time it does that, it adds the number as a requester.
MS Outlook Integration
Do you guys plan to integrate SD with Microsoft Outlook, for example when user sends email using Outlook to convert email in SD request or maybe some kind of toolbar in Outlook that would automatically login user to SD. thank you, Stevo
Re-assigning Products to different Product Type
I have seen this issue on the forums before but it doesn't appear that there is a direct answer for it - I have also been working with ManageEngine Support and they are not able to figure it out. Here's the issue. I am trying to re-assign some of my Products to different types (Specifically, I created a product type called "PC Laptops" and I am trying to assign some of my laptop models to it, so they are out of the default "Workstations" Product Type. I was able to do all of my models with the exception

Default SD+ Refresh set to 3 Minutes - can we get it set back to 1 Minute?
Just upgraded from SD+ 7514 to 7605. Noticed in the release notes that the refresh was auto changed to 3 minutes. We've never had any problems using the 1 minute refresh. Is there any way we can set it back to 1 minute? thanks - Joe Zimmerman
Purchase
Hi there, Hoping you could assist. We have just installed Service Desk Plus and this is the first time we want to make use of the purchasing system. What I want to achieve is the following: I need to be able to have more than one person that approves a single order before it comes back to the person that requested the order. This needs to come in the form of a workflow however. So once person one has approved the order a mail is sent to person two to approve that same order before it is sent back
Users/requesters - which "bit" counts as the identity?
A long time requester who was in a senior position at one of our clients has left and joined a competitor. If we just change his contact details (telephone, email address etc) am I correct in assuming that he will still be able to see the requests that he placed from his old position when he logs in to the portal? Or does the account identity centre around the email address, or the login name or...? Which items do we need to change to prevent a user accessing the old data? Thanks - Terry

Accidentally deleted 'Region'
I have accidentally deleted a region. As a result, my associated sites are no longer appearing. I have recreated the region however, since the sites weren't deleted, I am not able to recreate these - FAILURE :Site with same name already exists. Please provide different value for Site Name. Obviously this is because the Site name already exists in the database but is still linked with the original Region that was removed. Is there a way that I can restore the link? Thank you

Scheduling Asset Scans
Hello, We're using ServiceDesk Plus in a global environment. It would be beneficial for me to be able to run automated scans for different AD OUs at different times to ensure that the systems at that site are powered up. Right now I have one scheduled scan, but that means that I have to manually scan the OUs of the sites that are not open at the scheduled time. Is there a way to add additional schedules? It would be even better if I could add one schedule per OU (or group of OUs). Thanks!
Adding Users - Old Work-around Not Working
Hi. Sorry, but I can't find the thread in which someone helped me with this previously.....didn't mean to double-up on similar threads. Anyway... when I first got going with SDP, when it came time to add users, I could not use the domain import feature, because I'm just one small department on a large campus, and didn't want all of those accounts in my SDP. So, someone here gave me a way to do it....I'd create a user account within the SDP system, and then log into SQL and run a couple commands.

Send notifications on email request ONLY
We receive most of our requests through email, but a number of them are also received as walk-in tickets or over the phone, and are hand-entered into SD+. I currently have the notification rules set to send an email whenever a new request is created. However, this means I get notifications for requests such as when our level I tech enters a ticket for routine maintenance, which I don't need to see. Is there any way to filter the notifications so I'm only notified when a request is created by
