<h1 align="center">Customizing The Ticket System</h1>
<p>
This guide will explain how to add the "assigned_to" and "submitted_by" fields
to the ticket system in Fossil, as well as making the system more useful.  You
must have "admin" access to the repository to implement these instructions.
</p>

<h2>First modify the TICKET table</h2><blockquote>
<p>
Click on the "Admin" menu, then "Tickets", then "Table".  After the other fields
and before the final ")", insert:
<pre>
	,
  ,
  assigned_to TEXT,
  opened_by TEXT
</pre>
And "Apply Changes".  You have just added two more fields to the ticket
database!  NOTE: I won't tell you to "Apply Changes" after each step from here
on out.  Now, how do you use these fields?
</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>Next add assignees</h2><blockquote>
<p>
Back to the "Tickets" admin page, and click "Common".  Add something like this:
<pre>
set assigned_choices {
  tom
	dick
	harriet
  dick
  harriet
}
</pre>
Obviously, choose names corresponding to the logins on your system.
</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>Now modify the 'new ticket' page</h2><blockquote>

     submit_ticket
  }
</pre>
Note the "set opened_by" bit -- that will automatically set the "opened_by"
field to the login name of the bug reporter.  Now, skip to the part with "EMail"
and modify it like so:
<pre>
<th1>enable_output [expr { "$login" eq "anonymous"}]</th1>
<tr>
<td align="right">EMail:
<input type="text" name="private_contact" value="$<private_contact>" size="30">
</td>
<td><u>Not publicly visible</u>. Used by developers to contact you with
questions.</td>
</tr>
<th1>enable_output 1</th1>
&lt;th1>enable_output [expr { "$login" eq "anonymous"}]&lt;/th1>
&lt;tr>
&lt;td align="right">EMail:
&lt;input type="text" name="private_contact" value="$&lt;private_contact>" size="30">
&lt;/td>
&lt;td>&lt;u>Not publicly visible&lt;/u>. Used by developers to contact you with
questions.&lt;/td>
&lt;/tr>
&lt;th1>enable_output 1&lt;/th1>
</pre>
This bit of code will get rid of the "email" field entry for logged-in users.
Since we know the user's information, we don't have to ask for it. NOTE: it
might be good to automatically scoop up the user's email and put it here. 
</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>Modify the 'view ticket' page</h2><blockquote>
<p>
Look for the text "Contact:" (about halfway through).  Then insert these lines
after the closing tr tag and before the "enable_output" line:
<pre>
<tr>
  <td align="right">Assigned to:</td><td bgcolor="#d0d0d0">
  $<assigned_to>
  </td>
  <td align="right">Opened by:</td><td bgcolor="#d0d0d0">
  $<opened_by>
  </td>
  &lt;td align="right">Assigned to:&lt;/td>&lt;td bgcolor="#d0d0d0">
  $&lt;assigned_to>
  &lt;/td>
  &lt;td align="right">Opened by:&lt;/td>&lt;td bgcolor="#d0d0d0">
  $&lt;opened_by>
  &lt;/td>
</pre>
This will add a row which displays these two fields, in the event the user has
"edit" capability.  
</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>Modify the 'edit ticket' page</h2><blockquote>
<p>
Before the "Severity:" line, add this:
<pre>
<tr><td align="right">Assigned to:</td><td>
<th1>combobox assigned_to $assigned_choices 1</th1>
</td></tr>
&lt;tr>&lt;td align="right">Assigned to:&lt;/td>&lt;td>
&lt;th1>combobox assigned_to $assigned_choices 1&lt;/th1>
&lt;/td>&lt;/tr>
</pre>
That will give you a drop-down list of assignees.  Now, similar to the previous
section, look for "Contact:" and add this:
<pre>
  <tr><td align="right">Reported by:</td><td>
  <input type="text" name="opened_by" size="40"
   value="$<opened_by>">
  </td></tr>
  &lt;tr>&lt;td align="right">Reported by:&lt;/td>&lt;td>
  &lt;input type="text" name="opened_by" size="40"
   value="$&lt;opened_by>">
  &lt;/td>&lt;/tr>
</pre>
</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>What next?</h2><blockquote>
<p>
Now you can add custom reports which select based on the person to whom the
