The system automatically processes tickets according to category types, then by the category they match within the category type.
This advanced feature lets you control the order of the conditions in auto-processing. For example, you might want to assign tickets by geographic location, but all tickets with the keyword “explosives” assigned to a specific person. By making keyword the top priority, all tickets containing that keyword will be processed and assigned to the designated person first, even if they fall in the geographic area that would have assigned them to a different person.

Modify Auto Process Category Priority
- On the top menu bar, click System Management ( )>Administration>Ticket Management>Auto-Processing
- On the Auto Processing Overview page, click Go to Auto Process Category Priority
- On the Auto Process Category Priority page, in the left column, click Modify Auto Process Category Priority
On the Auto Process Category Priorities page, all the auto process categories (rules) are listed. Click Move ( ) to move categories up or down in the processing order.
Even though you can order the categories in any way, the system processes categories by type first, then by category:
Processing Order Category Type Description 1 Auto Response All auto responses processed before any auto folder placements. If there are no auto responses, the system goes to auto folder placements 2 Auto Folder Placement All auto folder placements processed before any auto assignments. If there are no auto folder placements, the system goes to auto assignments 3 Auto Assignment Auto assignments are processed last, unless there are no auto responses or auto folder placements ExampleIn this example, a user has ordered categories without regard for category types in the Order on Screen column. However, the system processes the categories by category type first, as shown in the System Processing Order column.
Order on Screen (by Category)
Auto assignment (Smith)
Auto response (complete response)
Auto folder placement (electric)
Auto response (unable to mark)
Auto folder placement (region 5)
