Scenario for Working with Delegated Administrators
This scenario is one of the topics for Examples for Using Delegated Assignment. A sales organization for a high tech company wants to create assignment rules that are inheritable and configurable by several different levels in the organization. The requirements are:
- Handle large sales leads internally; handle small sales leads externally using partners
- Promptly assign sales leads to the most qualified representative
- Design complex assignment rules, making use of the delegated assignment inheritance and templated criteria features to allow for uncomplicated rule administration by persons at all levels
In this scenario, the Sales EVP, vice presidents, regional sales managers, partners, and sales representatives participate in delegated assignment for one rule group hierarchy as shown in Figure 11.
