All,

We are looking to try to customize RT to get a little additional information 
out of it easily.  We are most interested in SLAs.  I've created a custom 
ColumnMap that adds the following:
                Response Time - Time between when the ticket was created and 
the when the ticket was "Started".  Started gets set via script on first 
response....if it is not already set.
                Resolve Time - Time between when the ticket was created and 
when the ticket was "Resolved"
                Shift - We rotate coverage, this tracks who should initially 
have been responsible for the ticket based on time of day.

I've also add the custom searches to the BuildFormatString.  This helps tell us 
a great deal about the ticket, but I would like to do more with this 
information.

Can I add the ability to Sort or Add Criteria using custom values?

When I click on the field to sort by the customized column, the tickets all 
disappear.  Is it possible to sort tickets based on a custom ColumnMap 
(calculated from the ticket values)?  Is it possible to create customized 
searches base on customized fields (calculated from the ticket values)?  Is it 
possible to export these values to Excel?

I know I could make this all work with Custom Fields, but I do not want to give 
our users the ability to change this information....but that just seems a 
little messy.

-Jennifer
