    Customer Name not appearing in notification and cannot use to spawn alert

    My email notifications have a blank customer name.

    Reason:  A new Incident has been created
    Project:  TestProj
    Customer Name:  
    Customer Contact Name:  Bobby
    Assigned To:  JC
    Name:  KVM Switch Not Installed

    When creating an incident there is no way to set the customer name. When doing the search you are forced to select a customer name contact.  Customer name is blank when the email notification goes out and alerts are not triggering off of customer name change because it is blank.

    I have it setup this way:

    Project Settings -> Alerts -> Incident Alerts -> Add Alert

    Alert Information (o) Change Field Value

    Trigger Detailsà Created

                +

                Generate an alert when: Customer Name

                Changes to: ABC Company

    Alert actions

                Custom email address: xxx@yyy.com

    Save

    Re: Customer Name not appearing in notification and cannot use to spawn alert
    So what is the status on resolving this issue?  I'm asking because it is now an even bigger nightmare in 2008.  In my company, there are 10 people on the list that get notified when a new incident is created.  None of these people know a site by the contact name, they only know it by the customer name.  Unfortunately since the notification is still broken they all end up trying to open up the incident in OnTime since that is the only way to get that info.  When this happens many of them are fully enjoying your thread lock feature.  It makes it a little hard to defend the use of a product if it is this unusable.
