[rt-users] Asset Tracker Custom Fields

[Todd Chapman]

Nick,

You should be asking these questions on the Asset Tracker
lists, not the RT lists. See: http://home.chaka.net/mailman/listinfo

But the problem you are running in to is familiar to RT
users. You have to add the queue (or in your case, asset
type) to the query before custom fields for that queue/type
will show up in the query builder.
