Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

Groups are sets of users who share a common purpose. By creating these groups, information that is displayed in AWA is limited to only users that are in AWA groups. The assignment group can be configured so that work items are assigned using the group queue priority. Each round of assignment can include multiple passes through the work items, each with an increasingly inclusive set of groups. This process ensures that agents in each group are offered items according to their group's queue priority order.

The members of the child group aren’t available.
