Hallo
Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I’m using RT 3.8.6. I’d like to move tickets to a new queue if the ‘updated’ date is older than 3 days.
The intention is to stop tickets getting lost & languishing untouched.
Can RT do this?
Cheers,
Gareth

Hi Gareth,
You should be able to use the rt-crontool command to do this
via a cronjob on your system. Generally, if the due date for
a ticket is set correctly, the ticket will show up closer to
the top in the “10 highest priority tickets I own” window of
the dashboard.
Another way would be to simply add another window to your
dashboard, using a saved search, the display your tickets
that have not been updated in 3 days. That would be my
preferred solution, if the normal ticket order change as
the due date approaches will not work.

Ken
That sounds great. Currently, I can build a search that says:
Status != ‘resolved’ AND LastUpdated < ‘2010-09-02’
What’s the correct syntax for something like:
Status != ‘resolved’ AND LastUpdated < (TODAY-3)-----Original Message-----

RT uses Perl’s Time::ParseDate module for parsing dates, so anything accepted by Time::ParseDate will do…
This:
LastUpdated < ‘3 days ago’
would be my preference, but:
LastUpdated < ‘- 3 days’
will also work.

That works a treat - thank you!-----Original Message-----
