new instance
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add new instances for one install? Meaning can we have one install, with separate forms being sent to the techs depending on what needs to be done. Can we have the user decide who to send the request to instead of just sending it to helpdesk can they send it to the netword engineer, with a form that they can check to indicate exactly what they need done, then a different form to the software helpdesk indicating exactly what software they need installed and

Pending Closed
How can I mark a request as "Pending Closed"? I would like to mark a trouble ticked as pending closed, the requester gets an email saying that they have three days to update the status of the ticket or it will automatically be closed.

User-->Asset Auto Assign
I have a questions which may be more of a feature request. We are using the auto-assign Asset --> Users feature which seems to work by Assigning the Asset to the last logged in user. Is it possible to have this done automatically so that anytime a user logs into an asset they show as a user of that asset? It would also be nice if the system could then "guess" the assigned user by last logon, number of logins etc. The problem we are currently having is if a computer gets auto-assigned to a user which

Can you please look into this with some urgency so that i can re-enter this information
Service management module
Actually current versions are not suitable for ITIL service (contract and level) management.

Hi I have just added a number of request templates with the idea that my users can be lead to providing the correct information by choosing the most appropriate template.

Users roles requests, but not see old requests
Hello Is there a way that a user can be granted permissions to be able to create and view open requests with the option of them not to see closed requests? I think this would be a good thing. That way if you have technical info that is way beyond the users capabilities they can just look at that and attempt it. only to make things worse. if the feature is not there can it be added to an update. thanks,
Email attachements not received by regester
Hi, we have found impossible to send email attachment to some email servers. The email is being sent correctly from our mail server. Problem is on the other side because Mac OS mail client and some mail servers ignore attachment which are "multipart/related". Right configuration for sending attachment should be: [b]Contect-Type:[/b] multipart//mixed "multipart/related" attachments are often used by SPAM senders to incorporate images into text message, therefore some spam filters/mail servers/email
Assets - Workstations v Servers
I am a little confused by how SD+ handles workstations/servers/laptops as assets. We are just about to deploy a new server and when I add it to the assets and select SERVER I get a different/reduced set of fields compared with WORKSTATION. When we scan a network, any new servers get scanned in as workstations with the "full" details that we require, is there a way to then label these as servers rather than workstations. Thanks in advance - Terry p.s. when I try to delete the "server" to re-enter
Change - Make an announcement
Hi there, Is there a way to customize the contents of the announcement generated from a change (ie: in a change click Actions and Make an announcement). By default it includes the title of the change plus the resolution. I'd like to change this so that it includes the discription and roll-out/backout plan. Is there a way to change this in the same way we can customize email notifications (set the variables), or by editing the DB in some way? Many thanks, Mario

Disabling the "re-open a closed request" on mail f
Hi, When a technician add a resolution and close a request, a mail notification is sent to the requester - this works perfectly well. But it happens sometimes that a requester wanting to say thanks to the technician answers the mail notification... so the mail fetching service catches the answer, and automatically re-open the request ! Is there a way to disable the re-opening mechanism ? thanks in advance ;)

Purchase reports including cost centers
We are looking to generate quarterly purchase reports, showing the cost center for each purchase order. We could then see which aspect we are spending the most money on and compare it quarter by quarter. The option to include cost centers in purchase reports doesn't seem to be available. Is this possible in the current iteration of SDP? Many thanks Neil
