Enhancements:

  • SDPMSP-8847 : Release Management in ServiceDesk Plus MSP

    ServiceDesk Plus MSP now supports Release Management in the IT help desk. Release management allows you to plan, build, test, and deploy releases to the production environment. A release can be defined as the process of delivering a set of authorized changes to IT services in a controlled environment. You can use release management to deploy hardware, software, documentation, processes, guidelines, policies, and other components to service operations. Throughout its life cycle, the release process is closely associated with the change management process.

    • ServiceDesk Plus MSP supports the following 9 stages that are essential to any release process :
      • Submission
      • Planning
      • Development
      • Testing
      • UAT
      • Deployment
      • Training
      • Review
      • Closure
    • Each stage in the release management contains statuses that indicate the progress of a release within the stage. Besides statuses, each stage has its planned schedule, roles, approvals, tasks and in some cases, downtime.
    • You can create a release request easily by using pre-configured templates, associate workflows with release requests to define the direction of the flow of the release process. Using workflows, you can include statuses in each stage, set up approvals, allocate stage-wise permissions to users, and configure notifications.To learn more about release management, Click here.

Announcement on Remote AE Behavior changes

With this release, we are replacing the existing AE agent used in Remote Asset Explorer(RAE - Distributed scan) with Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) agent.

Agent-based scanning can no longer be initiated directly from ServiceDesk Plus MSP. All agents need to push data via Remote AE servers only.

You can download the compatible Remote AE build here.

    Changes due to DC Bundle in RAE installation:

  • AE agents used for scanning Windows machines are replaced with Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) agents.
  • WMI scan (used for Windows machines) and SSH/Telnet scan (used for Linux and Mac machines) are no longer supported. Linux and Mac machines should also be scanned using the new Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) agent.
  • The script-based scanning used to scan devices outside your domain/network is no longer supported.
  • Removed the "MAC Address identification during scan" configuration from scan settings.
  • Removed the option to choose machines for remote control prompt. However, you can enable/disable the remote control prompt for all machines under Admin >> Agent Configuration.
  • Removed "WMI Timeout" and "Automatic Delta Scan"configurations from scan settings.
  • Configuring TCP protocols and ciphers are no longer supported.

SDPMSP-16084: Basic authentication has been replaced with API Key-based authentication for pushing data from a remote server. Hence RAE needs to reconfigure to make the scan to work with this SDP MSP installation.

Behavior changes :

SDPMSP-16085: The use of AE agents for scanning Windows machines is no longer supported.

Note: You need to upgrade your Remote AE server as older versions are no longer supported. You can use the PPM path as mentioned - to upgrade RAE instance. 6500>> 6600>> 6700>> 6800>> 6900

Request Details Page revamp 

Request details page is enhanced for better visibility. Performance of the same is improved a lot.

The request details page has been given a UI revamp with the request information prioritized with clear categories to help users quickly access the requests.

Some of the modifications are as follows:

  • The page is divided into three sections: Request List, Request Details with the Global Edit option, and Crucial Request Information with the Spot Edit option.
  • Custom actions are listed in a separate drop-down.
  • Work logs are accommodated in a brand-new tab.
  • Combined view for notes and conversations through email notifications.
  • Request Closure Wizard has been introduced.
  • Request Preview has been revamped across the product.
  • New Attachment Viewer for the Request module.
  • Support to drag and drop files to the Attachments section.
  • Under Requests, click any request. Click here to learn more.

HTML Editor Enhancements

  • HTML editor across product now has the following enhancements:
    • Smiley support
    • Modify Table Properties
    • Edit HTML Code
  • Solution Expiry and Periodic Review
    • Solution article needs to be updated periodically to avoid its invalidity and improve usefulness to the end user.
    • In order to achieve this, the solution is created with review and expiry dates. So when the date arrives the article should be reviewed and expired based on its usefulness. 
  • Short cut key for make call 
    • Can make a call to the requester from the request detailed view by using the short cut key [shift + c] . 
  • SDPMSP-11249 / 13418 : Ability to scan attachments while uploading to SDP portal - Blacklist / whitelist feature 
  • Custom Trigger enhancements
  • Notification template can be created and it can be sent as an email based on the action.

    WebHook Support : 

    WebHook is a way to feed information from SDPMSP to a Third Party application based on some event or action. It is possible through Webhook present in the Custom trigger under actions. - Create your own Webhook template (configuration) and integrate with third party application.

    Change Custom Trigger

    • Change custom triggers allow you to execute custom scripts or files and automate change-related tasks. In custom triggers, you will define rules, which when match the change requests will invoke predefined actions. Triggers prove specially useful in performing actions in other modules or in third-party applications.
  • FAFR can be applied to inline edit of requests from the request list view
  • Request Closing Wizard Enhancement
  • Request Closing Wizard.Guide technicians use Request Closing Wizard to fill out the missed mandatory fields while closing a request. This will come handy when a technician closes a request without filling out the mandatory field configured in closing rules (Admin >> Request Closing Rules) such as Resolution, category/sub-category etc. The technician will be shown a prompt from where the technician can fill out the missed out fields.

  • Track progress of all your projects simultaneously from a single console. These reports help you identify bottlenecks and closely monitor project activities using Burn-down and Burn-up charts.

Analytics on Solutions/Knowledge-base

  • Keep your knowledge-base articles up-to-date by analyzing the usage patterns and measuring the relevance of your self-service solutions.

Analytics on Request transition history

  • Analyze the transition history of a request such as,
    • The number of times each request was re-assigned to a different technician.
    • The amount of time a request was put in an on-hold state.
    • The number of support groups that have worked on each request.

Behaviour Changes :

Case : 1

Bulk association of sites in request will work only under the following cases:

  • * If the requester of a ticket is an actual end user (not technician), then the new site will be associated if that site belongs to the requester’s account.
  • * If the requester of a ticket is a technician, then the new site will be associated if the current technician(Logged-in tech) has permission for that site and also if the site belongs to the technician’s account or if the site is a MSP Organization Site.
  • * When bulk editing the request, the site value will be populated based on the logged-in technician’s site, request account change operation will be carried out only if the selected site is associated to the Work order's requester(Requester/Technician).

Other behaviour changes :

  • Earlier, while creating a request/ticket, the client machine's host name was stored in the request's history. Henceforth, only the client machine's IP address will be stored since the property 'enabledLookups' will be set to 'false' in 'server.xml' file by default. You can revert to the old behaviour by setting the property 'enabledLookups' to 'true' in the 'server.xml' file.

    Note: This requires a restart and might result in performance problems since resolving the client host name depends on a call to the DNS server.

  • Change workflow will be displayed only in Single view and not in Tab view anymore.
  • The application will function on free license after the acquired license expiry.
  • Duplicate additional fields will be automatically removed from the request template forms. To view the changes, go to the System Log Viewer.

What's new in ServiceDesk Plus - MSP 8.0? (Build Number 8000)

Service catalog

Service catalog is the list of services that you provide to your accounts. With the service catalog module, you can:

  • Offer different services to different accounts
  • Create and group services into service categories
  • Setup an SLA for each service that you offer for each account
  • Offer services to different 'User Groups' within accounts
  • Setup additional fields similar to requests

Technician auto-assign

  • Automatically assign requests to technicians in a round-robin manner or based on their workload
  • New requests can be automatically assigned to technicians thereby reducing the burden on your helpdesk co-ordinator

User groups

Group requesters in your account to different user groups allowing you fine-grained control over the following modules:

  • Announcements - thereby making announcements account based
  • Request and service templates
  • Solutions

Agent based scanning

  • Deploy agents on your end users' machines to reduce burden on the server
  • Agents have the ability to push only 'delta-changes' thereby reducing network utilization and providing faster scans

Integrate with Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) MSP

Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) allows you to manage desktops and perform operations such as:

  • Installing and uninstalling software
  • Patch management and service-pack deployment
  • Enhanced remote desktop
  • Apply uniform policies for users, groups, firewall, security, power management, environment variables, printers etc.

Other enhancements

    • Create SLAs to take into account weekends and holidays
    • If a technician replies to a notification mail[using his e-mail client] and includes the requester e-mail address in the to/cc list, that reply will be considered as response for the request. It will be added as conversation and if it is the first response, first response time for the request will be set
