`tickets` (Ticket management in Noi)¶

The lino_noi.lib.tickets plugin extends lino_xl.lib.tickets to make it collaborate with lino_noi.lib.working.

In Lino Noi the site of a ticket also indicates "who is going to pay" for our work. Lino Noi uses this information when generating a service report.

The life cycle of a ticket ¶

In Lino Noi we use the default tickets workflow defined in lino_xl.lib.tickets.TicketStates.

Sites ¶

The list of the sites in our demo database depends on who is looking at it. Anonymous users can see only public sites:
