FAQ

What is the difference between comment and reply?

Comments:

Comments will not be sent to the client and will not be sent to people from the CC. With a comment you can communicate with other RT users involved in the processing of a ticket or document your work.

Replies:

You should write a reply if you want to inform the client about something, such as the processing status or the result of his request. You can also ask him questions that arise or have not yet been answered, the answer to which you need for further processing.

Can I use the request tracker to track a software project?

In principle, this possibility exists, of course, but for this purpose, IT provides the Atlassian software JIRA, for example, which we would recommend for such a purpose. Those who would still like to use the Request Tracker for this purpose can do so. However, we would like to point out that this is not the intended use and future updates will not be able to take into account the continued functionality for other uses.
