Description

The information on this page is collected in an attempt to try to correlate and exchange information from different trouble ticket systems.

Trouble ticket system field name correlation

The below table is an attempt to correlate what kind of information different organisations keep in their trouble ticket systems and what they call each field representing that information. The final goal of investigating this information is to make sure that enough information is common between different systems to have a useful exchange of information.
