Assign a issue to a job role using Fusion

Avatar

Level 3

Hello

 

The challenge I am having now is that I need to assign a request/issue to someone based on their role.

 

For example, I want all Implementation related issues to go to all Workfront users whose primary job role is the Implementation Specialist. There are 3 people who qualify for that.

We do not use Routing Rule and Queue Topic to do issue assignment. We are using Fusion to do that. This is a given so we have no control over that.

 

But there is a limitation on the Fusion side in which case Fusion can only assign the issue to the first person in line for that role.

So what I want is to assign the issue to the Implementation Specialist job role and all the 3 users can see this issue in their Work List when they are in Workfront and to receive in-app notifications for that matter. 

 

Is there anyone who has done something similar or can shed some lights?

 

Much appreciate it.

Assign and Assign Multiple are the actions that add assignments.

 

Assignments is a collection on work items.

 

Assigned to is a single user (references).

Contemplate AssignedTo vs Assignments.  AssignedTo is a specific user and is limited to one.  Assignments are a collection and can include each individual, role or team.  Only 1 team can be assigned, but multiple roles and individuals.   

 

So you want to create an assignment on a request assigned to the team.

Thanks - please could elaborate on where do you see "AssignedTo" and "Assignments"?

I was checking the API Explorer but can only find the following but I think it might not be the one you referred to.....

Can't you do that with routing in queue topics?

No, unfortunately we have to operate under the constraint that it is not using queue topics and routing rules...

Clear.. They are under Task in API Explore just for future reference.

Thanks again
