[rt-users] Global scrips/templates vs queue specific scrips/templates

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Jason,

Unless things have changed radically between 3.6.5 and 3.8, if a global 
scrip is enabled it will always run when the trigger conditions are met; 
you can't turn a global scrip off for specific queues.

Templates work differently, though.  A global template (like Autoreply) can 
be overridden in a queue by creating a template in the queue with the same 
name as the global template.  RT will see the template in the queue and use 
it instead of the corresponding global template.

Regards,
Gene
