Configuring Routing policies

Routing policies assign Tickets or Change Requests to certain technician when the Ticket or Change Request satisfies a specified condition. Alloy Navigator Express checks this condition whenever Tickets or Change Requests are created or modified. For example, you can use a Routing policy for auto-assignment of all Tickets or Change Requests of the "Internet" category to the network administrator.

You configure Routing in the Customization > Service Desk > Objects > Workflow > Business Policies section as follows:

• To add a new Routing:

  1. Click New > Routing. The Object Routing window opens.

  2. Type in the policy name.

  3. Optional: Type in the description.

  4. Under When, specify your conditions for assigning Tickets or Change Requests to a specific technician. The policy will be applied when all conditions are true.

  5. Under Then, specify a new assignee.

  6. Click OK.

• To modify a Routing:

  1. Double-click the Routing policy to modify. Object Routing window opens.

  2. Change the details, as needed.

  3. Click OK.

• To delete a Routing:

  • Select the Routing to delete and click Delete.
