Assigning tickets is the process of assigning specific tasks or issues to individuals or teams responsible for resolving them. Only admins and authenticated agents have the authority to assign unassigned tickets to staff or agents. Tickets can be assigned manually by selecting a staff or agent from the Assignee list on the ticket details page. You can also assign a ticket to a team or oneself whereas the auto-assignment helps to assign tickets to the agents based on the ticket settings made under the Auto-Assignment feature.
Auto-assignment will assign tickets to the agents based on the Round Robin Schedule. It can be enforced to either All Departments or Only for Specific Departments which we have chosen. This can help manage large volumes of tickets efficiently and improve customer service.
