Is there a way I can add another layer to the tracking? Here is the issue. At the Eventum project level, we have defined a project for each work program. At this point, I can only define Categories for that program and I'd really like to have another layer. Here's and example: Customer A (Eventum Project) Category 1 Category 2 Customer B (Eventum Project) Category 1 Category 2 Our problem is that we'd like to add a little more granularity to the tree. For example, we'd like something like the following: Customer A Software Component #1 Category 1-n Software Component #2 Category 1-n Software Component #3 Category 1-n This way, we'd be able to sort per software component, view reports, etc. As I said, we're missing an additional layer that would help us out and allow us some additional flexibility - right now, we're constrained by the fact that there is only a top layer and one level below it. Any suggestions?

You could then use Advanced Search to filter out issues based on this drop-down selection. For reports, atleast I find quite a few inadequacies. So, what I do is export the (filtered) Issue Listing to CSV and then onto some Excel Report Templates for further formatting and beautification. Thanks and rgds, Watson -----Original Message----- From: Mark Riehl [mailto:mark.riehl (AT) agilecommunications (DOT) com] Sent: Friday, 04-May-2007 00:56 To: eventum-users (AT) lists (DOT) mysql.com Subject: Additional Layers All - Looking for a suggestion.
