We use two custom fields -- one for a category like you have listed (a 
multi-select list), and one for the requesting department (single-select 
drop-down), also for statistical tracking.

Subject: [rt-users] Categories

On our old helpdesk (hand written php/mysql setup) we had different categories 
that a ticket could be put into. The choices were like:

Phone
New user
virus
etc....

We have set up RT with a main queue that the ticket then gets routed to either 
one of two sub queues as we have two different I.T. groups in our agency. 
Instead of setting up a queue for each category what would be the best way to 
be able to check categories for stats? I was thinking keywords/hashtags in the 
resolution. Anyone else have ideas or pointers?
