NAME RT::Extension::QuickCalls - Quickly create tickets in specific queues with default values SYNOPSIS You will need to enable the new QuickCalls portlet with a line like this in your RT_SiteConfig.pm file: Set($HomepageComponents, [qw(QuickCreate Quicksearch MyAdminQueues MySupportQueues MyReminders RefreshHomepage QuickCalls)]); This is the default portlet list with QuickCalls added to the end People can then choose to add the portlet to their homepage in Preferences -> RT at a glance To set up your Quick Calls, you will want to specify a "Name" and a "Queue" in the config file. The "Name" will become the "Subject" of the task unless you specify a "Subject" option. You can add other Ticket options as needed, such as "Status". Additionally, if the "SetOwnerToCurrentUser" option is set, the ticket will be owned by the current user. Set($QuickCalls,[{Name => "Foo", Queue => 'General', Status => 'resolved'}, {Name => "Bar", Queue => 'Queue2', Status => 'resolved'}]); If a value is an anonymous subref, it will be called when the QuickCall is selected, and its return value filled in for the appropriate key: Set($QuickCalls,[ { Queue => 'General', Name => 'This will have the current time on the server in its content', Content => sub { my $date = localtime; return "When: $date\n\n"; }, }]); After you have added QuickCalls to your home page, you will be able to select one, click Create and be brought to the ticket creation page with multiple fields pre-filled.
