Hi Joe I'll give it a go... ;-) -General- has different meanings depending on what module you're working in. When using the Incident module, a -General- auto-assignment means it will use the auto-assign rule to set the 'Incident Assignee' fields. In Change > 'Change Implementer'. In Problem > 'Problem Assignee', etc. Incident Manager means it will use Auto-Assign to set the 'Incident Manager' fields. Infra Change Manager means it will use Auto-Assign to set the 'Change Manager' fields. Infra Change Assignee means it will use Auto-Assign to set the 'Change Assignee' fields. Problem Manager means it will use Auto-Assign to set the 'Problem Manager' fields. ...etc... HTH, Gareth

I'm actually using the manuals and taking a peek at the workflow now to understand what the application really requires in terms of configuration for it to work.. And in I think digging up the workflow is more useful than reading the manuals in understanding the application. I pretty much understood how the auto assignment process works after looking at the workflow (and not the manuals), so I really pity those new to the game who depend on manuals.. I'm still not too clear what the other values in the Event field are for.. Any takers on explaining that?

In the Event field I misunderstood its use.. In fact I am still not too clear on what the other values in the Event field is for.. But when I changed all of them to -General- it fixed the problem.. I had looked up the workflow that the auto assignment process was using that helped me fix the issue.. The first condition there is ('Assignment Event' = "- General -") AND ........... My values in the Company and Contact Company form were already -Global- and didn't need a change..
