'Location' field query
I'm trying to use the Query Editor to produce a report that includes the 'Location' field for an asset but I can't seem to find the right combination of table and column names to produce the output desired. I keep getting errors similar to this one in the 'Log' field: The column prefix 'locationDef' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. Can anyone help me by defining the correct table name, alias name and/or column prefix to allow my report to run and give me the 'Location'
Merge and Delete
There are some problems with merging and deleting reguests from main view page. Then one of the specialist try to delete or merge requests from main view menu by pressing a button - nothing happens. From request's view everything is all right. I'm trying to delete and add this specialist. He changed his domain password. Updated his java on PC. Tried to delete or merge requests from several diferent PC's. Other technicians can do this! Solution's like reboot SD server are unacceptable. Any suggestions?

Asset allocation issues
Hi A lot of my assets are coming up at workstations when they are infact printers, switches or routers, how do I change these, once they are imported into SDP as a workstation by default I can't see how I can change them
After setting tickets resolved, emails from the users dont reopen them.
This used to work until we upgraded to 7603.
Auto Calculation for Warranty
Under Assets, we always go in and modify each product to set what its warranty period is. For example a laptop we just got in has 3 years worth of warranty. It would be nice if SDP would auto-calculate the warranty period, when we put in the acquisition date. So if we put in the acquisition date of 3/1/2010 on a particular asset, then SDP would auto-fill the Warranty Expiry field with 3/1/2013.

Emails not being sent on Resolved since upgrading to 7604
When setting the Resolved status (either on the Request tab or the Resolution tab) the emails are not being sent to the user. All the configuration is correct as far as I can tell, sending emails works if I just reply to a request, but the notification rule for Resolved doesn't appear to be working.
Using ServiceDesk in a kiosk?
We're hoping to set up a user self-service kiosk so that customers can create tickets when support staff are not available. Has anyone done something like this? We're going to lock the machine down so that only the browser can be used, but I'm not sure how to configure SD+. Should we log into the application with a generic user account? Create a web form and post through the API? Is there a way they can select their own name from the requester box? I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Mass Set Fields on Inventory
We buy a large quantity of computers at one time. Our last batch was 146 workstations. We would find it highly useful if we could select all of these machine types, and mass set fields such as Vendor, Acquisition Date, Purchase cost and possibly more. Its a real pain to click edit for each of these 146 computers.
Search Option
Hi, I feel the search option doesn't give proper results. We are using notes to enter details of logs entered on requests before it is closed. For example, before the request is closed, the techie enters his notes each time as to what he did with the request. But when i go to search for a particular word within a request, i observed that it only looks for the word in the Title or the description fileds. I feel the search should look for the word within any of the fields, like even in notes. Anybody,

Getting "null" when logging in
We are testing the product and most test users can log in fine via the web page. One user cannot log in and receives a red "null" instead of the usual "Invalid loginName / password" error. The user's account in AD fine and can log on to other web sites (e.g. OWA) with his credentials. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot. Tony
Adding more than one client´s e-mail address
Hello, I have a version: 7.6.0 of Service Desk Plus and I need to add more than one address on the client´s e-mail option, so that all requests coming from different users with different e-mail addresses could be recognized as part of the same client, and keeping the software out from creating new clients automatically for each user of the same client that wants to make a request. If it is possible, how can I make that configuration? I already tried to do that by creating an additional field for
Attachments for resolution, when using "search solution"
Hi, I created a new solution template, with an attachment. When i'm resolving a request, going by "search solution", and "copy to resolution", the attachment will not appear in my resolution field .... There is only the description of the solution template, but not the attachment. The only way to give to a requester a resolution with an attachment, both at same time, is copying the url of solution template directly in the resolution field of the request, like that the requester click on the link

Searching for request information not producing results
We are experiencing some wierd behaviour when searching for information in requests. Before logging certain types of requests we search for a batch number that could already be reported. That way we don't report duplicate requests to update a batch. What we are finding that pretty much in all cases if the batch number is in the subject line the search will find it. However if it is in the body of the request it may or may not find it. Doesn't seem to be any pattern to when it will find and when it

HTTP Status 500 Apache error in Service Desk Plus
Since we upgraded to SDP 7.6.0 build 7602 we started to receive occasional HTTP status 500 exception report errors (The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.) while searching requests, updating a ticket, etc. I also generated a support file and attached it and a .jpg of the error message to an e-mail to support@servicedeskplus.com which created request id 6288110. I also attached the jpg of the error message to this post.

Purging Unused software from Scanned Software
I am hoping there is a way to purge all software that is showing up in our Asset module of SD+, we currently have over 5000 software applications found and many now have 0 machines with app installed, I am unable to sort the installed column which would be fantastic if this was possible then I could easily tick those and delete. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Popup Help
In many parts of the configuration, you have a description field, which is never seen except by Admin when configuring Some parts of the system, or even what we define (eg in a category), can be a bit cryptic, due the the length limitation of the field. It would be good if the description field of a configured item (eg Category, Subcategory, impact,urgency etc), on a form could either 1. Popup when the user hovers of the field or 2. There is a ? mark at the start or end of the field, which can be
scanned software
hi i have finally started to use the scanned software feature properly but am coming accross a couple of things that are a bit odd (i am running build 7502) 1) when looking at the software installed on a workstations and selecting windows 7 workstations it does not show any of the installed service packs, all software is listed under software details section and not under installed service packs. on windows xp workstations this is listed correctly 2) the issue as described under item 1 also applies
7.6 java 100% CPU useage
Hi guys, We have an issue with java running 100% on servicedesk 7.604 - We have tried the language tweaks mentioned elsewhere on this board, and also modifying the startdb to increase memory usage with no luck. We have disabled all network scans so that purely the ticketing system is in use and have archived old data but are still having a massive performance drag with this - it's frankly becoming unworkable. Suggestions?

7.5 7502 Merge Requests Disappear
Can you explain what happens to a merged request. We have two similar requests, both with notes etc, when we merge one of them seems to disappear. The only mention of it is in the "History" tab saying that >Request Merged , Performed by : System >Request id 81 is added as conversation for the request. But when you look at the "Converstations" you don't see anything pertaining to Request 81 notes, or details. I would expect that all the details would some how be captured (original requester, notes
Shutting down a domain server (to use a new named one) caused problems
We had cause to change the domain server for one of the windows domain. Once SD+ had started it's daily scan, we noticed that it hung, and we could not gain access. if we re-booted, we could gain access for a short time, and did have time to change the domain controller it needed to use for the 2nd windows domain. We continued to have issue for some time, before it finally came right. The issue seems to be that if a domain controller is not found when it starts it's scan, it does not fail gracefully
Problems with CSV file importing additional requester fields after AD import
Hi to all, I've experienced some problems to import additional requester fields from CSV file. First at all, I've imported the Requesters from AD and works perfect. After that, I've tried to import additional fields to existing requesters but the application duplicate them. I know that the name and login must be the same to overwrite the information, but it doesn't work. I put you an example of CSV, to know if I do something wrong: Directory Name,employeeid,E-Mail,additionalfield2,additionalfield2,Loginuser,Password
