Jim,<br><br>I have a Custom Field named "Work-State". It is used by many, many Queues. Not all Queues have the same processes that would be defined in "Work-State", therefore, each Queue can distinguish THEIR values in "Work-State" by making them all part of a category that is different that the others. In this case, they use their Queue Name as the Category. So, the CF "Work-State" has several Queues using a different set of values differentiated by the category (their Queue Name). Simple, right? LOL. Here's an example:<br>
<br>sort field name(value) descript category<br> 10 In-Progress GL<br> 20 On Hold GL<br>
110 Waiting for Req AP<br> 120 Waiting for Decision AP<br><br>When in a TIcket, the display screen/page offers the user a chance to select the category. SO let's select "AP". The only values I will then see will be the "Waiting ..." values.<br>
<br>Does that make it a little clearer?<br><br>Kenn<br>LBNL<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 7:12 AM, Jim Lesinski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.lesinski@gmail.com">jim.lesinski@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Jim,<br><br><br>What we do when we have a CF that needs different values per Queue is put the Queue Name in the Category Field of the CF and then when someone wants to select, they select the Category first, then they see a smaller list to select from based oin that Category/Queue Id.<br>

<br>
Maybe the description can be used to determine the field<br>
In the ui?<br>
