I am an IT Professional, and I will regularly have two types of topics that I am affected by: problem tickets and new development projects.  Both are usually referred to by a code or ticket number (e.g. Ticket 123456, ABC 100, DEF 123, etc...).

One of the problems I have with simple filtering is that not everyone will use exactly the same formatting. (e.g. Ticket #123456, #123456, 123456, ABC#100, ABC-100, DEF123, DEF #123, etc...) 

I would like to see functionality that would allow me to:

  • Define a Wildcard based rule so that I can keep all threads/posts for a ticket or project together easily
  • Define a rule that can infer a new Subtopic or prompt to create a new folder if a match isn't made.  In other words, if I have a folder/topic called "Tickets" and a new ticket is received I will be able to easily create a new folder or sub topic based on the defined rule.
  • Be able to link a single post to multiple folders/topics. A good example of this is a "status report" type message that refers to multiple tickets or projects.

Thank you for your time, and I would appreciate any feedback you may have.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are busily adding additional features and appreciate your ideas.

These is an interesting use case and we'll investigate how we can support it.
