[rt-users] Users Handbook

Wed Apr 20 03:32:28 EDT 2011

Hello Kenn,

i'm also intersted in having a copy of both documents.

As i've started a similar document as a baseline for instruction to new 
technicians, i'm considering translating the baseline paragraphs to 
french.
It may be usefull for other french RT user's.

Jason, Miachael, Yan, Kevin, Raed, Tyler & Drew,

I will certainly mail each of you a copy of both the User's Guide as well 
as the Queue Admin Guide. You must keep in mind that this documentation is 
tailored towards the way we do things here at LBNL. We have over 100 
Queues that are used to support Application Projects/Systems/Support. In 
most cases, we have a WorkFlow process that includes Review & Approval of 
requests before being moved to the support Queue as well as QA procedures 
that allow for separate approval of QA test results (by another team or 
the requestors, etc) before migration to production & Resolution. That 
means I the documentation will be referring to Ticket Status values we 
added, Custom Fields & Scrips created for these processes.

As long as you guys plan to rip out what you don't need, it can be useful 
as a baseline of instruction on understanding terminology, privileges, 
notification scrips, searching & reporting (including dashboards), and on.

I hope it will be useful for you.

I'll be sending them out in a couple of hours.

Raed & Kevin,

I'll have to send these to your individual email address as the User's 
list will stop it cause the attachments are so large.

Raed,

Absolutely! Right now I'm prepping it to remove any company info that 
shouldn't go out. Both Guides should be ready by EOD.

BTW, the guides are based on 3.8.7, including screen shots, etc.

references tp Privileges (the Admin guide). However, it refers to workflow 
functions and scrip that we developed that might not be in sync with what

project and would like to have some materials for the users to refer to.
