Question: Please summarize the difference between Assignment rules and Assignment Data Lookups.  When they apply, end result on the ticket.  Also how they might interact with Business Rules.

Thank you

Stewart - Assignment rules allow you to populate the Assignment Group and Assigned to fields based on a wide range of criteria that is configured in the condition builder. The Assignment Lookup Rules only allow lookup based on category, subcategory, configuration item, and location.

SNF Tip: Did you know that you can create a Visual Task Board (VTB) for the My Groups Work module? Select the Column Context Menu for Task Type > Show Visual Task Board. It's that easy!

Stewart W_ John

When do the Assignment rules apply?  After update?  Do they apply before or after business rule in the case a BR is also setting an assignment value?

I have worked a little bit with Assignment Lookup Rules and it seems to apply during changes made during the display of the form, before update, so the Lookup Rule changes the value, but it can be changed by the user before clicking Update or Save.  Is this correct?  And is it the only time the Lookup rules apply?

davidhildbrand
Giga Explorer

Hi Stewart,

Assignment Lookup rules are client side, so yes, they will apply even if you don't click on "update".

The Assignment rule are server side, it means that you need to submit/ update the incident to trigger the rule.

So, both could be useful depending on the business requirement, even if normally, the Assignment rules are more often used.

Thanks
