Globals are not a type unto themselves, but a scope for the other types.
This seems most useful for tickets where you want a CF to be available
for most if not all of your queues (and if not all, it's presence is not
a problem in the others) e.g; a Tags field.
The ticket and transaction CFs can be queue-specific or global.
>queues
No idea.
>ticket
Non-transaction information e.g; custom status, reference ID for an
external system (Nagios, purchase order)
>transactions
Track your staff's stress on a per interaction basis, or stash some value
for a scrip to operate on, etc.
>users
Say you want to store a fax number as well as the already supported
pager number, or the person's birthday, SSN (shame on you), etc.
