ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus 8.0 :: Admin Guide
� If the e-mail sender is a technician with technician permissions, then the fields that can be
parsed are same as those fields that he can view in the request form while creating a
request.
� Fields that can be parsed are LEVEL, MODE, PRIORITY, URGENCY, IMPACT,
CATEGORY, SUBCATEGORY, ITEM, GROUP, TECHNICIAN, TECHE-MAIL,
REQUESTER, REQUESTERE-MAIL, REQUESTID, REQUESTTEMPLATE,
REQUESTTYPE, STATUS, SITE, ASSET and additional field label (the field label given
in the e-mail must match the field label set in the product)
� To change the fields that a requester or a technician can parse, go to Admin --> Request
Templates (under Helpdesk domain), select Default Template and add or remove the
fields.
� The RequestId present in the description of the e-mail it will be given higher precedence over
the RequestId present in the subject of the e-mail.
Consider an example:
1. To create an e-mail that has to be parsed, the subject of the e-mail should be same as defined in
the configurations (E-mail Subject contains), for example, "@@SDP@@” and the content is as
follows:
@@CATEGORY = Printers@@
@@PRIORITY = High@@
@@URGENCY = Normal@@
@@LEVEL = Tier 4@@
@@MODE = E-mail@@
@@IMPACT = Affects User@@
@@GROUP = Network@@
When the request is created, say with a Request ID 6735352, the fields for the request are set based
on the above content from the parsed e-mail.
2. To edit this request, say to assign a Technician or a Sub-Category, operational string
“OPERATION = EditRequest” along with the RequestId (or WorkOrderId) and the delimiting fields
have to be specified in the e-mail as follows:
@@OPERATION = EditRequest@@
@@REQUESTID = 6735352@@
@@TECHNICIAN = Administrator@@
This updates the request 6735352 and assigns ‘Administrator’ to the ‘Technician’ field.
3. To pick up the request through an e-mail, the technician who has ‘AssigningTechnician’
permission should specify the operational string “PickupRequest” along with the RequestId should be
mentioned in the e-mail. The technician can pick up the request only if the request falls under his site.
@@OPERATION = PickupRequest@@
@@REQUESTID = 6735352@@
3. To close the above request (6735352) through an e-mail, the operational string (CloseRequest)
and the Request ID has to be present in the content of the e-mail.
@@OPERATION = CloseRequest@@
@@REQUESTID = 6735352@@
