Request Tracker or RT is a tool used for tracking and managing incoming requests for service received via e-mail.

RT allows the creation of queues with an associated email address, where each new request received by email create a ‘ticket’. The tickets can be handled by any of the people with access to the queue. The system should be used via web access, with a browser, and allows a permanent achieve of the correspondence and comments associating with handling each ticket. O RT permite a criação de filas com um endereço de email associado, onde cada novo pedido recebido por email dá origem a um ‘ticket’. Os tickets podem ser tratados por qualquer das pessoas com acesso à fila. O sistema deve ser usado via browser e permite ter em cada ticket um arquivo permanente da correspondência e comentários relativos ao tratamento de pedido.
