Would it be possible to have subqueues of subqueues?
In the meaning a hirachry like "English tickets" -> "Product: XYZ" -> "Technical Support" ?
Best regards,
*Von:* "User questions and discussions about OTRS.org"
Currently it is planned to use OTRS in our helpline. We ordered a managed server now, but there are still some things left which I am unsure about.
It is planned to have main queues for every language (we habe support mail adresses for every language). Every language queue will diveded in subqueues for each of our products.
Now the thing is, we will have to do weekly reportings to our Headquarters and they want even to know how many inquiries we received for cxertain categories (like "General questions", "Technical Problems", "Account Problems" ...) What would be a good way to implement those categories also in OTRS. Would there be the possibility to define such categories and our agents can selct the proper category when they close the ticket?
You could maybe create another level of queues or create special ticket types for the different problem categories. I have used neither, but I think it should be possible.

"Technical Support" ? That was what I was suggesting. I haven't tried it, but I think that might be possible.

Hi Markus, I have to tell you I am facing the same issue (I am using OTRS for more the 4 years) and the sub-queue system will not be the best approach. Getting into more details (having a lot of product to support or many main categories) will lead you to a large number of queues. The downside of this will be the management (adding responses, new users, etc) and the fact that your operators will be lost through them. I think a better way to serve this will be to use the ticket type (new feature in 2.2.1) or the Free fields (from old 2.1, but in here you will run in some troubles in terms of DB performances and queries). In my current implementation I am using the following format: Queue level 1 - market segment; Queue level 2 - language + tier. All other things are recorded in some custom fields (we made some customization) similar to Free Fields. I am planning to move to 2.2 and use the ticket type for some of them.
