Hey, Roger, I think I came up with something that works - naturally, after I posted my request (Side note: The ARSList is so powerful, just posting to it makes me smarter, even before responses come in). Tell me what you think of this. Basically, it involves breaking down a request from a user like this:
(User): I would like you to (Tier 1) the/an (Tier 2) on/for my (Tier 3). Example: Tier 1 - Install; Tier 2 - Application; Tier 3 - Desktop. Tier 1 - Fix; Tier 2 - Connectivity; Tier 3 - Email. That seem to make sense?

Conceptually, I know that it needs to complement the Product Categorization, primarily by NOT duplicating the information contained therein. Knowing that I want to keep them related to symptoms that would be reported by users while still being useful in reporting, here's kinda what I am thinking about here. TIER 1 TIER 2 TIER 3 Application Request Installation Application Problem Connectivity Application Problem Functionality Hardware Request Upgrade Hardware Problem Peripheral Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many examples of a good setup of Cat 1,2,3 for the Op. Cats, (yes, I have seen the sample data) and I'm struggling to format a good, consistent set on my own. Does the example I included make sense, or do you see problems with it?
