August is here and many of us are taking time off from work to go on vacation. The tip I shared last summer about SysAid's "Out of Office" functionality is as relevant as ever, so it's worth sharing the tip again.

Service requests go to different administrators according to the routing rules you specify, and if administrators are out of the office, you don't want service requests to be assigned to them and remain untouched for the time they are away. In this case, you don't have to redefine the routing rule settings every time someone takes time off; all you need to do is ask the administrators that will be unavailable to define themselves as "Out of Office."



The "Out of Office" feature is incredibly easy to use.

Under Preferences, go to My Settings, and then select the "Out of Office" check button. You then choose the administrator to whom you want your service requests be assigned during the time that you are away. This automatically changes the routing rule without having to reconfigure it yourself.

Once you return to the office after your great vacation, you simply need to uncheck the box and then you are back to business as normal. That's all it takes! Enjoy your holiday and relax - the "Out of Office" feature ensures that your service requests will be taken care of while you're gone.

Hi Sarah.

I've asked before. It would be helpful if the manager could set up for all administrators. For example, if an employee is ill.

Is there still no way for a sys Administrator to place another administrator "Out of Office"?
