Set the default queue at the user level

Set the default queue at the user level

The user-level queue settings determine which ticket queue is displayed by default. User-level settings override system-level settings. Individual users and administrators who have permission to change user settings can specify the default queue at the user level.

If no user-level default queue is specified, the system-level default queue is used.

1.
Go to the User Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Users.
c.
Click the name of a user.
2.
In the Default Queue drop-down list, select an option:

Option

Description

No Default

Use no default when displaying queues. When this is selected, the first queue that was added to the system is displayed by default when the selected user selects Service Desk > Tickets.

All Queues

Display the All Queues view by default. When this is selected, the All Queues view is displayed when the selected user selects Service Desk > Tickets.

<Queue Name>

Display the selected queue by default. When this is selected, the specified queue is displayed when the selected user selects Service Desk > Tickets. If a queue does not appear on this list, verify that you have permission to view it.

3.
Click Save.

Set the default fields for the All Queues ticket list

Set the default fields for the All Queues ticket list

You can specify the ticket fields you want to display in the All Queues view.

If you have multiple queues, the All Queues view is a useful way to view all of the tickets in your system on a single list.

For example, each queue might have different names for ticket fields. One queue might use the ticket field Priority and another queue might use the ticket field Business Impact. You can choose which field to display in the All Queues view.

Fields are displayed according to these settings:

•
The field names used in the queue selected as the Default Queue for All Queues View Field Labels
•
The fields specified in the Customize List Layout for All Queues View setting
1.
Go to the Service Desk Settings page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
c.
On the Configuration panel, click Settings.
2.
In the Queue Preferences section, select a queue in the Ticket List Layout for All Queues drop-down list.
The field names from this queue appear on the Tickets page.
3.
Click Save.
4.
Click Customize List Layout for All Queues View to display the Layout page.
5.
Modify the fields using the following icons:
◦
: Add a field.
◦
: Change the field name or the width of the field column.
* 
NOTE: The width indicates the amount of available page width that is assigned to the field column. For example, if you have 10 columns, and each column is assigned a width of 10, the total of all numbers in the Width column would be 100. Therefore, each field column would have a width of 10 percent of the available page width. If the total of all numbers in the Width column is more or less than 100, the numbers are normalized to percentages to determine the width. For example, if you have three columns, and you assign a width of 10 to each column, the total of all numbers in the Width column would be 30. However, when normalized to percentages, the width of each column would be approximately 33.3 percent.
* 
TIP: The field column widths specified in the All Queues View overrides the properties of individual queues.
◦
: Drag and change the order in which the fields are displayed.
◦
: Delete the field.
6.
For each field you edit, click Save at the end of the row.
The default queue settings are saved.
7.
To see the new settings:
a.
Select Service Desk > Tickets to display the page.
b.
In the Queue drop-down list, select All Queues. In the View By drop-down list, select All Tickets.
Fields from the selected queue appear on the list in the order specified in the queue settings.
* 
CAUTION: When the system displays Active Tickets or All Tickets in the All Queues view, the Choose Action menu and View By drop-down list use default settings. Customizations that appear in individual queues are not available in the All Queues view.

Move tickets between queues

Move tickets between queues

If you have multiple queues, you can move tickets between them as needed.

When you move a ticket to different queue, the ticket's original settings, such as status, impact, priority, or category are overwritten by the settings in the queue to which it is being moved. The ticket change history stores the original values.

The following example shows how a custom field is treated when tickets are moved between queues:

1.
The CUSTOM_1 field in the ticket being moved lists the root cause of the problem as Pilot Error.
2.
The CUSTOM_1 field in the target queue lists locations, such as Tampa, Los Angeles, and Denver.

The CUSTOM_1 value, Pilot Error, is retained in the ticket being moved.

3.
If you change the CUSTOM_1 value of the ticket being moved to Tampa, the Pilot Error value is no longer available for the ticket that has been moved.
1.

The bulk ticket update feature allows you to edit one or more fields of multiple tickets at the same time. The tickets must belong to the same queue. You can only bulk edit tickets if you are the queue owner.
