Round Robin queue assignment based on an agent assigned Asset or Asset Category

Within a queue, there is a new option to enable round robin by asset or an asset category.  What this means is; if a case comes into the queue, cases will only be assigned to agents that have that asset assigned to them within their profile. To enable this feature, you will first have to assign an asset or an asset category to the agent within their profile.
 

Assets to agents:

1. Go to Configuration → Organization → Agents.
2. Select an agent to add assets to.
3. Click on the Tab “Assets”.
4. You can assign assets directly to an agent or an entire category.
   

Turn on Round Robin by Assets

1. Go to Configuration → Organization → Queues.
2. Select the desired queue.
3. Scroll down to the “Case auto-assignment” section.
4. Find the option “Assign cases based on case asset” and enable it.
   By enabling this option, when a case enters a queue, that case will only be assigned to agents that have that asset assigned to them in the profile.
   
   

Ability to add templates and variables to an escalation type.

To make things more effitient, you now have the ability to add dynamic templates into an Escalation type.  This template will populate on the selection of the type allowing you to have pre-formatted escalation notes before cases are escalated.

1. Go to Configuration → Cases → Escalation Types
2. Select a type from the list.
3. Scroll down to the new Template section.
   
   
4. Save your template.
