Subject Tag Usage

Hi all,

I just want to be sure I’m understanding the use of “Subject Tag” for a
queue.

I can put whatever I want in this, and it’ll change the tag in the subject
line of outgoing messages.

By default rt puts the RT instance name [rt.here.com #12345]

If I put FOO in the subject tag for a queue, the tag would be [FOO #12345]

If I change that tag to BAR, I have to put FOO in the regular expression in
the Site config to ensure it recognizes the old tag.

Is there any other things I should be aware of? I’ve tested a bunch, but I
just want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

Thanks!
Mike.

This sounds like a good summary.

If you’ve upgraded RT, ensure your templates are in sync with what we
ship in the current version, otherwise it won’t pull the subject tag.

Is this what you are referring to Kevin?

This is from the Global Autoreply template

“There is no need to reply to this message right now. Your ticket has been
assigned an ID of [{$rtname} #{$Ticket->id()}].”

I’m assuming you would want that to be something else?

Do you have a {$Ticket->Tag} or something like that?

Thanks!

This is the 4.0 version of the Autoreply template, which has the
relevant SubjectTag method in use that you can crib off

That’s what I thought you were talking about.

Thank you very much.

Also, thank you very much for that link, it has other useful bits of info
too.

I appreciate all the help the folks from Best Practical provide on this
listserv. People don’t say it enough, but you guys run a great company.
