Queues
Tip
Get into the habit of using Queues to assign records to groups of users and to help manage your workflow.
Queues are a concept in Workbooks which enable you to assign records to a specific group or function and allow you to notify the relevant people involved. You could say a Queue is similar to a department 'Inbox'.
Queue Types
Queues are 'record type' specific and are available for most Record Types.
By default, one Queue is defined for each record type which is the 'Unassigned' Queue. Records can only be assigned to a Queue for that record type, for example, Leads can only be assigned to Lead Queues.
To create a new Queue open the Landing Page of the record type for which you want to create a Queue and click Manage Queues in the left-hand menu. You can then create a new Queue using the button at the top of the grid or edit an existing Queue by clicking on its name in the grid.
Assigning Users to Queues
Users can be subscribed to Queues and, by default, they are notified when a record is added to that Queue. You can assign a user to a Queue from the Manage Queues menu. Open the desired Queue > click Subscribe Users. From here, you can filter on your users and select them to add people in bulk.
Users are notified as defined by their notification preference settings, either email and/or pop-up alert. More information on setting up your Notification and Reminders can be found, here. A user can then modify their individual preferences for the Queue by clicking My Queues and clicking on the pencil icon:
Note: Queues are controlled by Permissions so be sure to share Queues with the appropriate Users, otherwise they will not be able to access the Queue from the My Queues Menu.
Changing Permissions for Queue Assignment
When a record is assigned to a Queue, Workbooks can be configured to apply a different ruleset to the one that is applied if you were assigning the record to another user or group. You should configure a new Ruleset for this purpose. Then on the Queue configuration, tick the 'On Assignment' checkbox and select the new policy from the picklist:
