Assignee Policy

Ticketing > Assignee Policy

The Assignee Policy page automatically assigns an administrator to a new or existing ticket. Assignment is based on the combination of List type field values entered for a ticket. List type fields and their possible values are defined using Ticketing > Edit Fields.

Overriding Assignee Policy

Assignee Policy can be overridden for a specific ticket using the Create/View page, by the toggling the icon next to the Assignee field to display a icon, then assigning an administrator manually.

Order of Precedence

The order of precedence for policy selection is based on the alphabetical sort order of the policy name, which also determines how the policies are listed in the paging area. For example, a policy named of AAA will always be selected before BBB, so long as all of the fields in AAA match the settings of the ticket. You can force policy selection to the use the sort order you prefer by naming the policies accordingly. For example, you can add a numerical prefix to each policy name, such as 01, 02, 03, ... and adjust the sort order in this fashion. To rename existing policies, select the edit icon next to a policy name, then enter a new name and click Apply.
