Using a Workflow Policy Program to Assign a Service Request Owner

The example in this topic uses a predefined Workflow Policy program to assign a service request that is not yet assigned. If an open service request is not assigned for a certain amount of time, then this Workflow Policy program assigns it to a person who is considered an expert handling this type of the service request. This configuration allows the appropriate person to view the incoming service request, choose a new owner from a drop-down list, and then place this owner in the service request field that matches the Workflow Policy condition.
