HHH Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 In our Incident process we have automatic assignemt to a team and then a "Suspend, wait for request owner" node where the analyst in charge of the "Inbox" manually assigns tickets to an analyst depending on product and availability. Is there a way to set a timer on the suspend node so that if a request has not been assigned to an owner for a set period of time, a manager is notified?

James Ainsworth Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hi @HHH We have a changes in our backlog which will allow you to provide an expiry time/date on all the suspend nodes. On expiry a decision node will allow you to follow different paths if the assignment is not done within that time frame. Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Boardman Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 @HHH in the next Service Manager update all Suspend options will have optional definable expiry periods. This would allow you to set an expiry period and then perform another action in the workflow if the assignment has not been made in the timeframe you expect. This update is due in the next week to ten days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHH Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Thanks @Steven Boardman Are you aware if there is a way through a flowcode variable or otherwise to notify the team manager without having to resort to hard coding each team and manager-user into the Business Process? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Boardman Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 @HHH i've had a think and can't think of anything we could use at the moment - I am going to enquire about a Get Team Info option, as this would allow us to do what you needed here i think - in the same way as get site, customer, service etc - once we have this we could use the current Team's variables - and possibly hold the email address of the Team Manager in one of the team attribute fields. I'll raise the topic and see what comes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Boardman Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 @HHH we have created a story for this, and as this is prioritised and scheduled we will post updates back here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ainsworth Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The ability to Expire all of the Suspend BPM Operations has been provided. The will allow the BPM to automatically resume after the set time has passed. An outcome of Expired is provided with each operation to allow for a decision node to determine if a particular path should be take in the case of an expiry occurring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @HHH I just wanted to let you know that we have also provided a new operation, Get Team Info which will allow to you to get information such as the team manager. Information about this new BPM node can be found here. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
