Adding and deleting queues

Adding and deleting queues

Add a queue
Add a queue by duplicating an existing queue
Delete a queue or queues

You can add, duplicate, and delete queues as needed. This activity can be useful if you want to set up different types of tickets for different groups in your organization.

Add a queue

Add a queue

You can add Service Desk ticket queues as needed.

If you plan to move Service Desk tickets from one queue to another, be sure to use the same values, including custom fields, in each queue. Otherwise, data from the old queue is altered to match the new queue. See Move tickets between queues.

1.
Go to the Service Desk Queue 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 Service Desk, then click Configuration.
c.
In the Service Desk Configuration panel in the Queues section, click Create queues link to create new queues.
Or
In the Service Desk Configuration panel in the Queues section, click Create and manage queues link.
d.
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
Enter values for the Name, Email Address, and Alternate Email Address for the new queue.
* 
CAUTION: When delivering email to the appliance directly (forwarding email to the appliance), the local portion of the appliance address and the alternate address must match. For example, servicedesk@kbox and servicedesk@company.com.
CAUTION: Each new queue must use its own unique email addresses. The appliance confirms this before allowing you to save the new queue. If you specify an email address that is already associated with another queue, a warning appears.
3.
In the Email Configuration section, go to the Inbound tab and select the POP3 option. If you have set up a POP3 server, enter the POP3 email user ID and password in the User / Password fields.
See About POP3 email accounts.
* 
TIP: When using POP to download email to the appliance, you can use any valid mailbox.
4.
For the POP3 authentication, you can apply Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to the queue by selecting the SSL check box.
Whether you select this check box depends on how you have configured your POP3 account.
5.
Click Save.
6.
Choose additional settings for the queue as needed. See Configuring Service Desk ticket queues.

Add a queue by duplicating an existing queue

Add a queue by duplicating an existing queue

When you duplicate or clone a queue, all data from the existing queue is copied into the new queue, which can be faster than adding a queue from scratch. Ticket Rules are copied to the duplicated queue, but they are disabled by default.

1.
Go to the Service Desk Queues list:
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 Create and manage queues in Queue section.
2.
Click the name of a queue to display the Queue Detail page.
3.
Click Duplicate at the bottom of the page.
The new queue contains the same name as the queue from which it was duplicated with an appended unique identifier number. By default, Ticket Rules are disabled in the new queue.
4.
Change the name and settings of the queue as needed.
5.
Click Save.

Delete a queue or queues
