There was a recent change in the location rule requirements for assigning tickets to agents and teams. Previously, in our large buildings, we were able to assign tickets to a team, and individual agents would pick up tickets as they noticed no other agent had claimed them. This allowed for a smooth, self-regulated workflow among our agents.

However, with the new requirement to assign an agent or team for "All other locations," we’ve had to adjust our process significantly. Now, we’re forced to create an agent to act as a placeholder, which disrupts our previous workflow. Agents are still self-assigning the tickets when they see the placeholder agent, but this new step adds complexity and inefficiency to our process.

It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to toggle this feature on or off, depending on the preferred workflow. Our previous method of leaving tickets unassigned until an agent could self-assign worked much better for our environment, and we’d love to have that flexibility back.

Hope this feedback is helpful, and we look forward to any updates or solutions that can better accommodate our workflow.

I create this based on recommendation for IIQ Support Team when asking about why this was happening.
