How to Manually Assign Tickets
Updated:
Manual ticket assignment involves an agent actively choosing who should handle a ticket based on factors like priority, agent availability or expertise.
Manual ticket assignment can be achieved from two areas:
- Card View
- Ticket Details Page
Assigning Tickets from the Card Layout View
Card View enables you to update ticket properties, such as the assignee, without opening the ticket. To assign a ticket:
- From the ticket listing page, locate the ticket you want to assign.
- Click the dropdown icon next to the headset symbol.
- In the pop-up window, select the desired routing option:
- Group to assign the ticket to a specific team.
- Agent to assign it to an individual.
- Assign to Me to set current user (yourself) as the assignee.
- Click the checkmark (✓) icon to save your changes.
Assigning Tickets from the Ticket Details Page
To assign a ticket from the Ticket Details page:
- Open the ticket you want to assign.
- In the right-hand panel, find the Assignee field.
- Click Assign to me to route the ticket to yourself, or use the dropdown to select another agent.
- Select a Group to assign the ticket to a team, and an Agent to assign it to an individual.
- Click the checkmark (✓) icon to save the changes.
- When an assignee group is selected, only agents within that group appear in the agent dropdown.
- Users must have the Edit Assignee permission enabled for their role to manually assign tickets.
