In order to enable this extension's functionality it is required to create a custom field first. This custom field needs to be of the type "Select one value" and have the name "QueueCategory". (Although the name is configurable, see below)
Once the custom field has been created, define the categories you want to use as values for the field. Remember to apply the field to those queues you want to categorize and to manage authorization before continuing.
Now edit each queue you want to categorize and choose a value for the custom field. That's it.
It's possible to adjust the order of categories by defining a sort order for each value of the custom field. If no custom sort order is provided, categories are sorted alphabetically by default.
To use an alternative name for the custom field, define $QueueCategories_CFName
and provide it as a string.
Plugin('RT::Extension::QueueCategories');
Set($QueueCategories_CFName, 'Queue Group');
