As a manager, you can:

  • Create custom preset filters to prioritize your work items based on what's important for you.
    • You can define the filters based on task type. For example, you can set filters for incidents that are categorized as Priority 1 and Priority 2.
    • You can also define filters based on use cases. For example, if you want to prioritize catalog tasks from a VIP business unit over other units, you can define those conditions for the filter.
  • Configure your work queue to display the most relevant work items.
  • Assign work items based on skill recommendation.
  • Assign work items based on your teams' shifts.
