[rt-users] Query Builder - Custom Fields

[Kenneth Crocker]

Paul,

You have to "click" either of the *"add these items"* options. That will
then tell Query Builder what Queues you are using and it will then find the
CF's that are applied to the Queue(s) you listed.

I don't use Transaction Custom Fields so I'm not much use for advise there.
Sorry.

Hope this helps.
