[SOLVED] Support and short term planning

Hi all,

I have 2 kind of support on my products. The first level is dealt by our support engineers and they have a part of their work time dedicated to that.
We enter tickets for each item, and link them to the different category of support (from customer or from production).

The second level is for the more tricky issues and that have to involve the R&D team, and this is where I'm having some troubles.
Those issues (also set as tickets) are quite rare (which is good for us ) and no time is forecast by default.

How can I enter the estimated effort so that it is reflected on the global timing and that the impact on the on-going project can be seen?

Thank you

Thank you for the reply.
I was wondering however how to split the effort in between different resources and not have a global pot for resolving the ticket.
Do I have on the activity assignment to update the left work for each involved resource?
BTW, as it is not so often, it could be a solution - not the preferred one, but however acceptable

Regards

That would be a great improvement for some of our guys that are often copying tickets into activities.
Thank you.
