What is the end goal of this request? WHY are they wanting 35 groups? Knowing the desired result might help guide some of our thoughts and responses.
Tim From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Champagne, Susan Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 10:19 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Support Groups: Best Practice? ** Hi folks, I'm looking to get some advice on what the best practice is regarding Remedy support groups. I have a group of 30 support staff members, who support many different applications, and many individual modules in some applications. They are asking that I create individual support groups for each area of support. This would be 35 support groups. Originally, when we built the system in 2009 (7.0.03), we had one support group for these people, but we used the "Assign to Individual" practice, which is becoming increasingly more difficult as the group grows and as their support model grows. We are now at 7.6.04. I am looking at suggesting that we leave them in one support group, and I would add the "Product Name" field to the assignment notification message, allowing them to determine if the assignment is for them or not. My dilemma is on how to convince them that this would be the best way to proceed. Your input on this matter would be most appreciated.
