 Do you have the option of using a multi-line custom field and writing

 As far as I can see, that's the only really sane way to store multiple
 free-form values per ticket.
I recently got the info from my users that we also need to group by
address (Charts), so this isn't possible with you suggestion.

 
 This is a bit dirtier, but could you create an Address queue, an
 Address ticket for each address and then just link the other tickets to
 the Address tickets as needed?  This would at least make searching for
 tickets by address very easy.
Interesting idea.
I currently investigate if your above solution fits better or if I
create a new Address object which I can link to tickets. This requires
more coding but would be the cleaner solution.

 Hi,
 
 has anyone made a local modification to save addresses on tickets?
 I'm looking for ideas how to implement this.
 
 Our requirements:
 * multiple addresses per ticket
 * address types (postal, installation)
 * search tickets by address
 
 We currently use CustomFields (Street, City, ZIP), but can't save more
 than one address per ticket with this.

[rt-users] Any webinars that exist showing the articles functionality in RT?

2015-01-05 Thread Mike Johnson
As the subject line says, I'd love to see any recordings of how people
utilize the Articles functionality in RT. This was previously RTFM.

I am currently running 3.8.10, and am not able to do an upgrade right now.
I installed RTFM and fiddled around with it, but I can't really see a fluid
use of it, and I'm thinking I'm just simply missing the point... or
thinking it should be doing something that it doesn't.

Anyway, if anyone knows of a webinar, or demo of that portion of RT, could
you point me in the right direction?

I have a very hard time web searching for RT related content with the term
articles, and well RTFM just brings up what I want to tell people when
they submit tickets to RT :P

Youtube has a handful of videos that are useful, but none that I've watched
so far (I've watched 1/2 of the 24 video playlist that pops up when
searching)

Thanks!
Mike.

Re: [rt-users] Fw: slow query on RT 4.2.9 with postgres

 When simply requesting the new search page

 seconds to load the page.  PostgreSQL (version 9.3.5)  logs this slow
 query.

 this (slow) query also shows up when look at the
 Display/Basics/People/Jumbo tabs of a ticket in the general queue, but
 not in other queues.

How many users have the OwnTicket right in the General queue?  Have
you run VACUUM ANALYZE since the upgrade?

This is your reminder that 3.8.10 has published security vulnerabilities
in it, including SQL injection and arbitrary execution of code.  I hope
you have, at least, installed the security patches we've released.  But
upgrading to 3.8.17 (which is still unsupported, but at least has no
published vulnerabilities) would be mostly equivalent to doing so.
Upgrading within a stable series is meant to be painless.

 I installed RTFM and fiddled around with it, but I can't really see
 a fluid use of it, and I'm thinking I'm just simply missing the point...

We don't have any published webinars.  However, the documentation in
http://docs.bestpractical.com/customizing/articles_introduction.html
applies as much to RTFM as it does to Articles.

Re: [rt-users] Any webinars that exist showing the articles functionality in RT?

2015-01-05 Thread Parish, Brent
I highly recommend attending the RT training seminars!
After using RT for over 12 years I finally went to one and loved it, looking 
forward to another one or perhaps bringing them onsite to do group training at 
my company.
http://bestpractical.com/services/training.html

We are just now starting to use the Articles functionality.  So far, I only use 
it for ‘recipes’ on how to do things (e.g. how to add an iSCSI volume to 
Solaris).
This is because (unlike tickets) you can change the text in Articles as the 
recipe changes (e.g. learn new things to do, commands change slightly with new 
versions of the OS, etc)
