Hello ServiceNow Community,

I am seeking guidance on configuring Advanced Work Assignment (AWA) to automatically assign new incidents to agents within a specific assignment group based on their current workload. Specifically, I aim to:

  • Identify active members within an assignment group.
  • Determine the number of active incidents assigned to each member.
  • Assign new incidents to the member with the fewest active incidents to ensure balanced workload distribution.

For example, if each member in a team has 3 tickets and one member has 2 tickets, the latest incident should be assigned to the member with the least number of tickets.

Could you provide guidance on how to configure AWA to achieve this functionality?

Hello , 

In AWA - 

If Navigate to All > Advanced Work Assignment > Settings > Assignment Rules.

  1. Select the Chat - Most Capacity assignment rule.
    For information about AWA assignment rules, see Configure agent assignment rules.

 The field "Assign By" has two option 

  • Last Assigned: Routes a work item to the agent who has gone the longest without being assigned work.
  • Most Capacity: Routes a work item to the agent who has the greatest availability for handling the work In the Auto-assign handling related list, perform the following tasks.
  • In your case -Most capacity  will work .
