Properties Name
Usage Comments
Assignment Mode
 
Determines whether or not Assignment Manager performs filtering based on organizations or people. Valid values are: Independent, Org & Person-oriented, Organization-oriented, and Person-oriented.
Assignment Scoring Mode
 
If this parameter is set to Person-based (the default), the assignment rule score is set to the score of the highest-scoring employee or position for the rule. If this parameter is set to Organization-based, the assignment rule score is set to the score of the highest-scoring organization for the rule.
Auto Reassign
 
When this parameter is checked—parameter equals TRUE—Assignment Manager automatically reassigns objects if assignment attribute values change. The Generate Triggers server task looks for this flag when it generates triggers for the active assignment policy. If the parameter is unchecked—parameter equals FALSE—no trigger is created for the update; the assignment occurs once when the record is inserted. The default value is TRUE.
Calendar Activity Additional Fields
 
A string that provides extra information for use when creating an activity through availability-based assignment. This string follows a format of "parent field", "field 1", "value1", "field 2", "value2".
Calendar Create Activity
 
When this parameter is checked—parameter equals TRUE—Assignment Manager creates an activity in the employee calendar of every final assignee, blocking off the time needed to finish the task. When this parameter is not checked—parameter equals FALSE—no activity is created in the employee calendar.
Calendar Duration Column
 
The table column that references the duration of the object. This column is required for availability-based assignment.
Calendar Early Start Time Column
 
The table column that references the early start time of the object. This column can be used for availability-based assignment but is optional.
Calendar Start Time Column
 
The table column of the assignment object that references the start time of the object. This column is required for availability based assignment
Default Employee
 
Assignment Manager assigns this employee when a conflict or a tie occurs and the appropriate employees cannot be assigned.
If the Default Employee property for an assignment object is not specified and all rules have failed for a request for that assignment object, Assignment Manager sets the owner id field in the object row to No Match Row Id.
Default Organization
Default Org
Assignment Manager assigns this organization when a conflict or a tie occurs and the appropriate organizations cannot be assigned.
If the Default Organization property for an assignment object is not specified and all rules have failed for a request for that assignment object, Assignment Manager sets the owner id field in the object row to No Match Row Id.
Default Position
 
Assignment Manager assigns this position when a conflict or a tie occurs and the appropriate positions cannot be assigned.
If the Default Position property for an assignment object is not specified and all rules have failed for a request for that assignment object, Assignment Manager sets the owner id field in the object row to No Match Row Id.
When the Default Position property of an assignment object is set to null and that object does not qualify for any defined assignment rules, then Assignment Manager does not set Primary position on the object.
Employee Column
 
Name of the column in the employee intersection table that points to rows in the employee table (S_EMPLOYEE).
Employee Primary Column
 
Name of the column in the primary table that stores the primary employee (on a team) or single-owner employee.

Name of the column in the employee intersection table that specifies whether the employee is system assigned.
Ignore Extra Attributes
Ignore Assignment Attributes
When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager ignores the assignment criteria that are not relevant to the assignment object being assigned. For example, if you have an assignment rule that uses Service Request Priority as an assignment criteria, Assignment Manager ignores this assignment criteria when assigning opportunities and accounts because Service Request Priority is relevant only to service requests. When this parameter is unchecked, the assignment rule fails.
Inactive
 
When this parameter is checked—parameter equals TRUE—the object is no longer enabled (active). By default, this parameter is set to FALSE.
Keep Creator
 
When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager never deletes the object creator from the team.
Keep Man Asgn Primary Org
 
For teams only. When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager does not set the primary organization if the user explicitly sets the primary organization; Assignment Manager actually checks the Primary Organization manual flag in the object's primary table.
By default, this manual flag is unchecked when the object is first created.
Keep Manual Assigned
Keep User Assigned
For teams only. When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager keeps manually assigned assignees and assignment rules.
Keep Manual Primary Employee
Keep Man Asgn Primary Employee
When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager does not set the primary employee if the user explicitly sets the primary employee; Assignment Manager actually checks the Primary Employee manual flag in the object's primary table.
By default, this manual flag is unchecked when the object is first created.
Keep Manual Primary Position
Keep Man Asgn Primary Position
When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager does not set the primary position if the user explicitly sets the primary position; Assignment Manager actually checks the Primary Position manual flag in the object's primary table.
By default, this manual flag is unchecked when the object is first created.
For more information about setting the primary position, see the run-time parameter Set Primary Position.
Keep Manual Primary Rule
Keep Man Asgn Primary Group
For teams only. When this parameter is checked, Assignment Manager does not set the primary rule if the user explicitly sets the primary rule; Assignment Manager actually checks the Primary Assignment Rule manual flag in the object's primary table.
By default, this manual flag is unchecked when the object is first created.
Lock Assignment Column
Exclude Column
When this parameter is set to a column name, the object is not assigned or reassigned if the column value is TRUE. If you want Assignment Manager to assign or reassign the object, set this parameter to null, or set the column value to FALSE. This column is not a property of the assignment object itself, but a property of the business component associated with the assignment object.
Note: Every assignment object base table has an ASGN_USR_EXCLD_FLG column, and for some objects, this column is exposed in the Siebel application as a field named Lock Assignment. However, for assignment objects that do not have this column exposed, you can query the database for the ASGN_USR_EXCLD_FLG column in the appropriate table.

Set Primary Employee
 
For teams only. When this parameter is set to TRUE, Assignment Manager is enabled for setting a primary employee. You select the primary employee for an assignment rule in the Assignment Rules view.
The primary employee is the highest-scoring employee in the highest-scoring assignment rule for the object being assigned.
Set Primary Org
 
For teams only. When this parameter is set to TRUE, Assignment Manager is enabled for setting a primary organization. You select the primary organization for an assignment rule in the Assignment Rules view.
