[rt-users] Queues, surveys for agents, and forms

[Geico Caveman]

Thanks Loic!

I am glad to hear that it is easy to do so. But precisely **how** is the
question. Does it go into the config file as a new block?

That said, is it possible to move tickets between queues (ensuring that the
ticket number does not change)? That functionality is essential as very
often as a request courses through the system, it has to go from one office
to another (and the only person who can decide where it goes next is the
agent in the office sending it).
