I was wondering if anybody would like to share how they are using Subjects
in CRM.




I am trying to decide if you are better with a flat list of basic subjects
or a nested list of highly granular subjects. Interested in what others are
doing, what has worked, what has not.




Thanks in advance, Mike

There is no right way or wrong way however I would not usually use a one
level subject list.

Might help if you could describe your particular scenario

I don't have a specific one, I was looking to see what others are doing as a
general rule.



For example as a systems integration shop, we will want to track support
calls by product. So how granular do you get, is it better as a hierarchy
that is 4 levels deep, 10 levels...



Lets say for support calls would we be better with subjects like this;



Products

Microsoft

Office

(SPS) SharePoint Portal Server 2003

(WSS) Windows SharePoint Server 2003

Office XP

Office 2003

Outlook

Word

Excel

SQL Server

SQL Server v7.0

SQL Server 2000

SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services

SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services

SQL Server 2005

(SSRS) SQL Server 2005 Reporting
Services

(SSIS) SQL Server 2005 Integration
Services

(SSAS) SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services

Windows Server 2000 Standard

AD

DNS

WINS

IIS

File and Print

Replication

Windows Server 2000 Enterprise

AD

DNS

WINS

IIS

File and Print

Replication

Windows Server 2003 Standard

Trying to find the balance of not enough detail, too much detail



Thanks again, Mike
