Mark HEAT Ticket to Indicate All Resolved Assignments

  

Quite often, HEAT Admins are required to build very detailed processes in HEAT.  Some processes are simple -  only requiring a couple of BPAM rules - where others possibly require 10 or more rules, complex call groups/autotasks and also the HEAT Messaging Center to ensure the processes work appropriately.  Many of these processes require tricks of the trade that we use on a daily basis.  One of these fully supported tricks is to flag the ticket when all assignments are resolved.

The initial step is to create a BPAM rule that executes an autotask when a certain call group is met.  That autotask will update a checkbox field either with a 'T' for true or 'F' for false.  From there, another BPAM rule can react on that value of 'T' stored in that field.

So how is it done?  Create a checkbox field on the CallLog table like the example above, then have an autotask run an 'Update Call' action.  In that action, we will use the '@AllResolved()" function.  This function when used, will mark the checkbox only if all assignments are resolved.

As mentioned above, you may run this in a BPAM rule, but it's not necessary.  Instead, you may find it more useful to run it manually inside another autotask, such as the 'Resolve Assignment' autotask!
