What is the NextTicket app?
NextTicket auto dispatcher saves 80% of ticket dispatchers' time. This is way faster and more accurate than prioritization and dispatching that's done by humans. The unique priority rules design makes ticket dispatching super flexible to fit any business process.
What is the NextTicket Manager app?
Instead of training your dispatchers or technicians how to pick the most important tickets. NextTicket auto dispatcher uses an easy-to-use priority point system to auto-calculate the priority of tickets. The NextTicket Manager app can:
- Save 80% of ticket dispatchers' time
- Eliminate cherry picking, random picking, and ticket black hole
- Save at least 10-20 minutes per technician every day
- Prioritize tickets a lot faster and more accurately than humans can
- Scalable and available 24/7
How to access NextTicket Manager
...
Navigate to Apps on the MSPbots menu and open the NextTicket app. Currently, NextTicket supports ConnectWise Manage, Autotask, and Syncro. More integrations are to be released every month.
For technicians, type "NT" in MSPbots App in Teams.
Setting up NextTicket Manager
Only MSPbots admins have permission to manage the settings. Click Settings on the upper right corner of the screen to view the NextTicket Settings tab.
Set up ticket filters
Filters are used to determine which tickets should be calculated. You can define the filter conditions using the dropdown menu and exclude the tickets that you don't want the technicians to see.
...
- In the NextTicket for ConnectWise tab, select the Tickets filter list and click Add new filter.
- When the Filter Settings window opens, enter the name of the filter in the Filter Name box.
- In the center pane, select the applicable filter type from the Select Fields list.
- Please fill in the Filter Name field and the filter conditions. When two new boxes or lists appear beside the
- the Select Fields
- Fields list, specify the other specifications of the filter.
- If you want to add more groups or conditions for the filter, click the plus symbol below Filter Name, and then select either Add Group or Add Condition. You can also click Preview
Note You must have a service board (Or Queue) field for the NextTicket app to work.
- You can also click Preview to enter the "Test Result:" pop-up windowto check if your new filter settings or conditions are valid before you save the changes.
Tip In the "Test Result" pop-up window, it can capture up to 250 items. We have set a limit to capture a maximum of 250 data items. The reason for this limit is that sometimes the data returned by the API interface is too large, which can cause errors in the interface.
- When capturing 250 ticket items, the number of filtered tickets can be exactly 250 items or more than 250 items.
- When there are fewer than 250 items, the number of filtered tickets will be displayed accordingly.
If you want to avoid having 250 items, please go back to the "Filter Settings" page to adjust the filter and preview again until the ticker items are less than 250 items.
- When you're done setting up the filter, click Save.
Best Practice for setting up ticket filters:
Divide your technician into roles, the most popular way is by reactive, proactive, and project. If you have a lot of technicians, divide them into pods based on the Territory, Zipcode, industry, companies, etc.
- If you ask a technician to handle more than 200 tickets, they will not be very familiar with the company information
- Even if you can use some good documentation system, it is still better, easier, and faster if you can let a technician focus on the tickets generated by less than 60-100 companies.
Set up priority rules
This is the most important step in order to release the power of the NextTicket.
Priority rules are used to calculate the ticket priority. The flexible points system engine helps you digitize your dispatch policy or rules.
See more info in Setting Up the Point System for Next Ticket NextTicket Priority Rules.
Setup default filter and Priority points rules for each tech
After you hire a tech, please set up the default filter and priority rule template for each tech. These settings will be used to determine when users type “NT” in teams. For the web interface, people can select what they want.
NextTicket Priority Rules Sample
These are examples of how you can assign points to priority rules. New rules are being added. Please check the app for the most updated list.
