As an admin, you can:
- Create work configurations that managers can view in their work queue. For information on setting up work configurations, see Set up a work configuration.
- Create work scheduler cards and configure them based on your needs. For more information, see Create a Work scheduler card using the Next Experience UI Builder.
- Associate the work scheduler cards with work configurations. For more information, see Associate a work scheduler card to the work configuration.
As a manager, you can:
- Create custom preset filters to prioritize your work items based on what's important for you.
- You can define the filters based on task type. For example, you can set filters for incidents that are categorized as Priority 1 and Priority 2.
- You can also define filters based on use cases. For example, if you want to prioritize catalog tasks from a VIP business unit over other units, you can define those conditions for the filter.
- Configure your work queue to display the most relevant work items.
- Assign work items based on skill recommendation.
- Assign work items based on your teams' shifts.
