Priority Rules are the set of rules that will determine the priority ticket from the list of tickets that we set in our Filter. The process is that we assign positive points to prioritize a ticket and lower or negative points to deprioritize a ticket.

Format of a Rule:

If <condition/certain scenario>, add points.

...

tickets out of all the tickets pooled by the NextTicket Filters. To apply these rules, use your admin access to prioritize tickets by assigning positive points to high-priority scenarios and deprioritize tickets by assigning less or negative points to low-priority cases.
