    Routing Rules Form for Service Records

     

    Routing Rules enable the Service Desk to automate the allocation of Service Records to Administrators or Admin groups, streamlining scenarios where prior knowledge exists about which Admins or Admin Groups are best suited to handle Service Records meeting specific criteria.

    Routing can be determined by:

    • Agreement (SLA/SLM module only): SLA of the Request User
    • Company: Company of the Request User linked to the Service Record
    • User group: User group of the Requesting User linked to the Service Record
    • Category: Category of the Service Record

    These options allow for the routing of tasks to Admins/Admin Groups as needed.

    Note
    • The Service Desk arranges the rules based on their specificity, ensuring that more specific rules take precedence and execute before less specific ones; the execution order adapts dynamically when new rules are added and isn't influenced by the sorting of the Routing Rules List.

    • There is an option to Reroute Service Records based on Routing Rules when the details of the Request change

      To enable this, go to General Settings and check off "Reroute Service Records, based on routing rules, when the details of the request change"
