Mike, I think I understand your general thinking. However I think your barking up a very wrong tree.
So before I start down any possible "how to" ... let me get the trigger point straight..... You mention a "driver table". What are you doing to "trigger" the work on the driver table? (An escalation? A Modify All from the User Tool? , An API program?) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two. Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.
