[Rtir] Constituencies in RTIR/custom fields

Peter,

We use the Constituency field but not its full functionality. We just
assign it appropriately when creating incidents and can report on it
if we need to. (We use it to distinguish between incidents on campus
and those in the halls, for example).

There is also the Customer field which is used in reports and
investigations but not incidents. We fill this in when sending out
investigations to the various faculties.

I can't be certain but I don't think creating more custom fields would
create too much of a problem.

Regards,
Tony.
