Conditions, scrips, and templates are great for building in much customisation and they have been helpful in my quest.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">In our workflow, we normally generate reports at the end of an incident to document findings and recommendations etc. Reports will go through revisions
and management approvals, so I've been thinking how to fit this into RT/ RTIR. One idea I've been thinking about over the past few days is to create a new queue and associated lifecycle, say called Reports, use the ___Approvals queue for the approval workflow.
However, I've no idea how I can allow one to associate the tickets in this new Reports queue to an Incident ticket like how Incident reports, Investigations and Blocks are associated with Incidents. Also, how is it possible to allow one to create a Reports
ticket from the Incident display view, just like what we can do for Investigations, Blocks, etc. Is it possible to do something like this without having to go into the internals of RT/ RTIR?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Another alternative is to just build on the Blocks ticket, which I've managed to build an Approval workflow around it (every block ticket generates
an Approvals ticket which needs to be approved before the Block ticket is allowed to proceed). Not ideal and most elegant but I think it should work. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
