In some areas, when creating a ticket, there is a possibility to specify some information in advance in custom fields, which can lead to a reduction of the processing time.

This term refers to the title or subject of a ticket that appears as the subject of an email when you interact with RT in an email client, or as the title you see in a queue when you work in RT itself. In the search, you can search for individual words that should either be included in the title or not at the moment.

This term refers to the ticket number. Each ticket in the RT has a number that uniquely identifies it. For the search, you can search for specific ticket numbers, namely those that are "less than ", "greater than", "equal to" or "not equal to" a specific number. This way, the searched tickets can be narrowed down considerably, for example, if only the last 100 tickets are searched.
