In Visual Dispatch, a data policy exception is thrown when a task is assigned or re-assigned to an agent that is part of two groups

KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

Visual dispatch is a drag-and-drop feature that dispatchers using Work Management (renamed as Field Service Automation in Fuji) can use to assign tasks. If a dispatcher tries to assign a task to an agent that belongs to two different groups, a data policy exception is thrown.

Steps to Reproduce 

  1. Install the Field Service Automation and Field Service Automation demo data plugins.
  2. Impersonate a user that is a Dispatcher.
  3. Navigate to Field Service > Dispatching > My Dispatch Queue.
  4. Select a work order task with a State of Pending Dispatch.
  5. Click Visual Dispatch (only a dispatcher can see this UI action). 
    A new window opens.
    • in the top half, all agents are listed, divided by groups - tasks on the right side are assigned to the agents on the left
    • in the bottom half, all unassigned tasks are listed
  6. Identify a user that is in two or more groups.
  7. Select a task, assigned or not, and drag and drop the task on the name of the agent you identified in step 6.
    Note the Data Policy Exception: Assignment group is mandatory.
    Because the agent is in two groups, the task is not assigned to the agent.
