The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Request Tracker Automatic Ticket Creation based on CustomFields

Asked by fanrat in Open Source Programming, Linux, Perl Programming Language

Tags: , ,

I'm having the hardest time figuring out how to create a ticket based on
the status of a Custom Field.

I have two Custom Fields

1: Billable
It's a select one field with values of:
   Yes
   No
   Covered
   Gratis

2: Followup
 It's a select one field with values of:
    Yes
    No

I have the two corresponding scrips written:

1: Invoice

Condition: User Defined
Action: Create Tickets
Template: Generate-Invoice

Custom Condition:
return 0 unless $trans->Type eq "Resolve";

return undef unless
($self->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Name_of_your_Custom_Field') =~
/Yes/i);
return 1;
return undef unless
($self->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Name_of_your_Custom_Field') =~
/Gratis/i);
return 1;

return undef unless
($self->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Name_of_your_Custom_Field') =~
/Covered/i);
return 1;

2:

Condition: User Defined:
Action: Create Tickets:
Template: generate-followup

Custom Condition:

return 0 unless $trans->Type eq "Resolve";

return undef unless ($self->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Followup')
=~ /Yes/i);
return 1;


I have two corresponding templates created:

1:
===Create-Ticket: generate-invoice
Queue:  Accounting
Subject: Invoice: { $Tickets{'TOP'} -> Subject() }
Requestor: {$Tickets{'TOP'}->OwnerObj->EmailAddress() }
RefersTo:  {$Tickets{'TOP'}->Id() }
Content: Please generate an invoice for this customer.
Billable was set to:
{$Tickets}{'TOP'}->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Billable')}

Billable hours was set to:
{$Tickets}{'TOP'}->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Billable Hours')}
Please refer to previous ticket for more information.
ENDOFCONTENT

2:
===Create-Ticket: generate-followup
Queue:  Customer Service
Subject: Invoice: { $Tickets{'TOP'} -> Subject() }
Requestor: {$Tickets{'TOP'}->OwnerObj->EmailAddress() }
RefersTo:  {$Tickets{'TOP'}->Id() }
Content: A follow up was requested on this ticket.  Please refer to
previous ticket for more information.
ENDOFCONTENT


I then created a test ticket with Billable set to Yes and Followup to
Yes, and neither ticket spawned!!!
