Fw: [otrs] Notify new owner of ticket?

To elaborate more...
The options in Preference I see are:
Move notification, ticket lock timeout notification, follow up notification,
new ticket notification.
I want an agent to be notified when I assign them as the owner of a ticket.
I have found OTRS to be very intuitive and have tweaked Sysconfig to make it
robust as I want, however I cant seem to figure out this very simple
problem..

I have read it many times, I can access that screen and change how the notification looks, but how do I actually assign that notification to be used?

Anyone have any idea?
Check out the first sentence of the Notifications chapter (http:// doc.otrs.org/2.1/en/html/x962.html). :o)

The manual says: "Via their preferences agents and customers can select the system events for notifications." And that's just like it is: the agent logs in, goes to his preferences and selects which notifications (s)he wants to receive. Nils Breunese.

Is there any way to have a user see all tickets regardless of ownership? Right now, if a ticket is owned by another user, then no one else can see it.

I would like to add a field to the Customer user for the Company they are associated with. Is there a way to do this?

Can you use the CustomerID field? To record the company I always use the CustomerID field. However I always use the internet domain name of the company rather than their actual company name. This gives me consistency in the CustomerID field. That way when I want to search for them... I don't have to wonder if someone entered CAS or Computer Applied Services as a company name "CustomerID". That way when multiple contacts from the same company exist and they click on company tickets... it is sure to pull up tickets from their co-workers. For the User ID I always use their email address. This insures uniqueness for the User ID. Not only does it solve the problem listed above... it also gives me three pieces of information with just one piece of info... (user email address). 1) Username (Because it's the same as the email address) 2) Email Address (Known) 3) Customer ID (domain portion of the email address) You still may need to list the actual company name and this doesn't really address this, but I mentioned it in case it may be helpful to you for the reasons listed.

I know that, but it still does not help me. Under preferences a user can
select:
New ticket notification, Follow up notification, Ticket lock timeout
notification, Move notification.
A user can not select Owner Update notification even though under the
"Notifications" link in the Admin area there is a en:Agent:OwnerUpdate
notification you can edit.
All I want is to be emailed when someone makes you owner of a ticket. Which
looks like the en:Agent:OwnerUpdate notification, however there doesnt seem
to be a place for a user to enable this notification, as under preferences
you only see the options listed above...
