Queueview - exclude AUTO tickets

Hi, Just started using OTRS and so far finding it very useful, but we are finding some aspects quite confusing, but presume this is just because we do not appreciate why it works the way it does. The main thing we are having problems understanding is the QueueView and AUTO items. Ideally we would like to exclude all AUTO items from the queueview by default unless they have exceeded the time set against them. Basically, we would like to be able to respond to an item, set the AUTO state and date time, unlock it (so that it is not owned, as anyone can deal with it or we may not be in the office that day) and then forget it until a reply is received or the AUTO is triggered. Is this possible or sensible even? Thank you Neil

Hi,
if there is a ticket in the Queue that I want to close and that I dont need
to add additional
comments to, a one-click closing function would be great, when the internet
is slow it
would save a lot of time...
bb, Florian

The main thing we are having problems understanding is the QueueView and AUTO items. Ideally we would like to exclude all AUTO items from the queueview by default unless they have exceeded the time set against them.
You control which sort of Types are to be displayed via a setting in Config.pm: $Self->{ViewableStateType} = ['new', 'open', 'pending reminder']; The above should do what you want. Regards, Robert

Tried the change:
$Self->{ViewableStateType} = ['new', 'open', 'pending reminder'];
and it appeared to make no difference, also removed the 'pending reminder' from the setting and this also made no difference. Made the change by adding the line to the Config.pm and then running 'rcotrs restart'. Tested by unlocking a ticket which was 'pending reminder' in 1 day, locked and owned by myself. It then appeared in the QueueView, what we want is for the item to stay out of the queue view until the pending time has been exceeded. Am running 'Powered by OTRS 1.1.3' on SuSe 8.2. Any ideas, thoughts gratefully received, Neil

Try one(!) of the following rcapache restart apachectl restart /etc/init.d/apache restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache restart rcotrs doesn't restart Apache. hth, Robert Kehl

Thanks, restarted apache (doh!) and that had an effect, although not quite what was expected. The line:
$Self->{ViewableStateType} = ['new', 'open', 'pending reminder'];
made no difference unlocked, pending reminders still appeared. Tried :
$Self->{ViewableStateType} = ['new', 'open'];
and they disappeared, great. But when the pending time was exceeded they
did not reappear in the Queueview?

That's the intended behaviour, only 'new' and 'open' tickets are shown now. From Defaults.pm: # PendingAutoStateType # (used for pending states which changed state after reached pending time # see http://yourhost/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminState -> StateType) $Self->{PendingAutoStateType} = ['pending auto']; A setting of: $Self->{ViewableStateType} = ['new', 'open', 'pending auto']; Should show new, open and 'returning' tickets. hth Robert Kehl

Neil, Do you have the PendingJobs.pl cron job running? If so, check the schedule you've got it on and make sure that it's actually run after the time expired for a Pending ticket. If that is correct, try running it manually to see what the output is; it might be giving an error and since it's on a cron job you don't notice. -- Chris Salter -----Original Message----- From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org]On Behalf Of Neil Gow Sent: October 9, 2003 5:10 AM To: User questions and discussions about OTRS.
