NextTicket Manager FAQs (editing)

1.Typing “nt” in MS Teams shows an error.

• • The nt command prompts Auto Ticket dispatch to send the next highest priority ticket to Teams. Using this command in Microsoft Teams may return the following error, especially when used for the first time: 

Currently, the nt command applies the last filter used in the web UI. This requires users to access the NextTicket app before they could use it.

In the future version of the Next Ticket app, the admin will be able to set up the default filters for each user.

2. Why does NextTicket Manager bring you the same ticket all the time?

• • NextTicket brings up the same ticket each time the client types "nt". The client expects to see the next ticket in the queue after typing the command for the second time or the third ticket after the third time the command is used. This article explains how NextTicket sends tickets when the nt command is received. 

How the nt command of NextTicket Manager works 

The nt command triggers the NextTicket app to present users with the most important ticket to work on. The app does this by identifying the highest prioritized ticket using the Point Priority rules set by the NextTicket admin. The user cannot move to the second or third prioritized tickets until they have worked on the first ticket, changed its status, or made changes that would recalculate the priority points. 

Users can reject the ticket but are required to provide the reason for rejection. A rejected ticket is removed from view for an hour but will appear again if no action has been taken on it yet. The hour-long allocation allows the admin to adjust the priority rules based on the provided reason for rejection.

3. Who can configure the bots and the different settings (filters, rules, etc)?

• • Only user with Admin rights that has access to the app can configure the bot and the different settings in the app.

4. How can we request for a new priority point rule?

• • You can request a new priority rule by clicking the "Request New Rule" button in the priority rules page.

5. How to restrict certain users from accessing the app?

7. How can we delete a rule template?

• • Go to https://wiki.mspbots.ai/x/fILoAQ and look for "How to Delete a Priority Rule Template?"

8. Will technicians see points awarded to ticket based on MRR rule? (confidential) 

• • No, only user with Admin rights can view or see the points awarded to the ticket based on MRR rule.

9. What happens to rejected tickets?

• • Once a ticket is rejected, it will be removed to the queue for one hour. The expectation within that one hour is for the admin to update rules or settings so that ticket will not be going to incorrect technician or it will not be a priority ticket. If no update was made within 1 hour the ticket will come back to the queue and the technician will get the ticket again.

10. Can we link the ticket ID hyperlink to our PSA’s fat client instead of the web client?
