You can see the Generic Assignment Policy settings on the Rules page.

Policy Models

Assignment policies are linked to a certain model. To configure policy models click Configuration -> Assignment Policy Models.

The Policy Models page opens.

Here, you can create and configure assignment policy models.

At the current development stage, assignment policies linked to the Request model. In the future, they can be customized for different models as needed.

Assignment Policies

To create and configure assignment policies, click Assignment policies.

A form opens.

Fill in the form fields:

For the proper functioning of the policy, it is necessary to determine the rules by which the assignments will be performed.

  2. If necessary, enter the priority in the Priority field. When checking conditions of the triggering, the first will be selected rules with the highest priority (lower digit).
  3. If necessary, in the Conditions field, select the conditions under which this assignment will take place.
  4. You can add a description in the Description field.
  5. Next to the Type field, select the type of the rule.
    Depending on the selected type, there will be various options for further customizing the rule:

    If you select the Python expression type: you can describe the rule in the Python programming language.

    If you select the User type: below, you will be able to select the user to be assigned.

Assignment Policy Testing

Note

This section is for developers, because programming skills are required for testing assignment policies.

You can test the execution of the configured assignment policy.

To do this, in the policy form, click Test.

The window for policy testing opens.

Next:

  1. In the Policy field, select the policy you want to test.
  2. In the Object ID field, select the object on which to test the policy.
