Change info and type of graph in Global View
I would like to change the type of information or graph type on the "Home" tab when in global view. More accesability or options would be great for us to get an overview of what has been going on for that day or week or month rather than going to do a custom report everytime we want to view it.
moved SDP to new server have problems with requests
for purposes out of my control we had to move the SDP app to a different server with a different hostname. I knew I would have problems with request email that have already been generated but any new service request that is generated still contains the old hostname. so when a user gets a notification in an email the link has the wrong server name in the link. please help me fix. thanks
Allow to see all requests for the department
I tried to search the forums to see if this had be asked previously, but whenever I search, I just get a blank page... After upgrading from V6 to V7, all of the settings we had previously made to allow each user to see their department's request have been unchecked. It was tedious having to go in and check all <500 users before and I don't want to do it again. Is there a global setting to turn this on?

A few Questions about ServiceDesk
I understand that nodes are any hardware device found when doing a scan. Can you get more than 250? If there are certain ones you do not want to be manages by ServiceDesk can you set it so they are not managed? Also with the technicians can you get more than come with the plans, also can you have all of them logged in at the same time? Thanks Eric

Solution Print Button
I want to be able to print solutions without the SDP frame printing. This feature would be great for users because the current method looks a bit unprofessional. Can you please provide a print option to do this. ( currently only edit,delete or Forward options available) Actually The forward link is a workaround to this ( I forward the solution to myself as an email then print the email!!) Its not an elegant solution though! and certainly not suitable for end users Phil.W
Cannot reactivate inactive item/sub-category
I have inadvertently deactivated a sub-category and one of it's items. Even editing the sub-cat or item to reactivate it does not work. If I try the sub-cat and click on save, it just goes back to being grayed out and inactive. If I try the item and click on save, it gives me an error that the Parent Sub-Category Cannot Be Empty. Any idea on how to reactivate these records? It also will not let me delete them to start over.
roles and rights
Hi, I want some Requesters be able to view some reports. e.g. my CFO wants a list of all open and all closed requests of the last quarter. But to create reports he has to be a technician, doesn't he? I don't want him to work on any requests, since he is no IT-personel. And I don't want to spend a whole license for him. Is there any way, a Requester can create reports without being a technician? I also want my IT-staff to change the due-date of a request. By default SLA-assignments create a due-by
Connection Failure
Good evening! First off, I am an extremely new user to ServiceDesk Plus; not with regard to help desk software and conceptual design. This software has been deployed in a medium sized company to centralize our problem tracking more efficiently; it has been working wonderfully for several weeks until this point. Users report being unable to access the application via Web. I have spent several hours researching the documentation and browsing the forums, though not more than a couple steps ahead of
SLA/Overdue status not changing
When a request is re-prioritized the overdue flag is only updated if the new priority is managed by an SLA. I have 4 SLA-managed priorities and a fifth that is not. When a request is reprioritized to the non-SLA managed priority, the overdue status should be set to no or false. Currently, it remains set to true. I am running SDP 7011.

How to determine if a request has exceeded the agreed SLA?
We are busy evaluating SD and please need some clarification on how to determine if a request has passed the agreed SLA timeframe Example 12:00 Request logged with 2 hour SLA 12:00 Due date is set to 14:00 12:30 Call status is changed to �on hold� (Timer should stop) 13:00 Call status is changed to �open (Timer should start) Due date still shows 14:00. Should this not automatically be set to 14:30 to include the half hour the call was in a �hold� status? Current Configuration: Service Desk Plus standard

Forum Suggestion - Known Bugs and expected build - sticky
How about a sticky being put in here to cover the known bugs in the product and the expected release build that should address them. The reason I suggest this is that in a number of cases issues are identified and the support comment is a positive that it is now known and will be fixed either in the next hotfix, next update, minor upgrade etc. However to end users we have no idea if that means next week, next month or next year. That can then mean with each update the issue is re-reported and/or

Active Directory import - where to exclude OU's?
Hello I'm running SD+ version 6.006, and would like to test my AD import function. I have seen the option to include / exclude certain OU's from the import, but cannot find it. Anyone know where that is? Also, if a user account in AD is disabled, but their account is not hidden from Exchange Global Address Book, will it import the user into SD+? And, if I disable and / or delete an AD user, will it also delete the requester from SD+? thanks in advance!
Scheduled backups question
Looking at the config wizard there is an option to schedule backups of SDP. Our current config of SDP has a backended SQL database that is being backed up nightly. Does anything else need to be done to backup SDP considering the backups of the database we are currently doing? Additionally, there is an option to backup the "File Attachments" in the SDP scheduled backup. Where are the attached files stored in SDP? Thanks, Anton
SDP 7 - issues scanning machines
Hi, We are currently using SDP 7 build 7011. After scanning a machine i have noticed a few bugs. The first is that after the machine has been scanned, the software is changing the name of the machine and adding the connection-specific DNS suffix to the machine name, when it should really be adding the Primary DNS suffix. This is causing a major issue, because after it changes the name you can not scan the machine any longer because it can not reach it. You have to change the machine name back to
