Group agents by assignment priority

Prev Next

Group agents together and assign them to an Agent Handler that is using assignment priority.

Handler assignments can specify an individual handler or a list of handlers to use. The list that you specify can be made up of individual handlers or groups of handlers. This list defines the order in which agents attempt to communicate using a particular Agent Handler.

Note

When assigning systems to Agent Handlers, consider geographic proximity to reduce unnecessary network traffic.
