My Work

---

The My Work Tab automatically updates with tickets that are assigned to a Technician or a Group.

My Assignments (think Group)

• Use this section to view what work is assigned to the group(s) to which you belong. 
• Team members use this to keep abreast of new issues or to provide coverage during team member absences.
• To assume responsibility for a ticket in My Assignments, click the +My Work link. The ticket will move down to the My Work Section (in the left menu) and the responsibility field will be assigned.
  
  
   

My Work (think Person)

• By changing the Assignment to My Work, the ticket becomes assigned to an individual person and not the Group. 
• When tickets are in My Work, a person can concentrate on monitoring and working on tickets that are their specific responsibility.
• Add Comments and Update and Prioritize each ticket directly from links at the bottom of each section.
• See detailed instructions attached to this article.
