Overview

This article contains information on how to build queues within your Practifi instance and manage the queue members. Using queues creates groups of users who can be assigned tasks together, allowing each queue member to handle the task as needed. For more information about queues, please consult this Salesforce article: Set Up Queues

Creating the Queue

Queue creation occurs within the Salesforce Setup with the page separated into three sections: Queue Name and Email Address, Supported Objects and Queue Members. The steps below are listed in sections that correspond with the sections displayed on the setup page.

Queue Name and Email Address

  1. Navigate to the Salesforce Setup page by clicking the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page and selecting Setup.
  2. Use the Quick Find on the left-hand side to search “Queues” and select the Queues option within the Users menu.
  3. Select the New button on the Queues list page to begin creating.
  4. Enter a name within the Label
  5. Click into the Queue Name field. The value within this field will auto-populate to match the information input into the Label field. 

Supported Objects

  1. In the Supported Objects section of the Queue setup page, select Task, Process Task and Process Type from the Available Objects list. Optionally, you can select the Deliverable and Deliverable Type objects if you want the ability to assign Deliverables to the queue. Your selections will be highlighted in blue. 
    Please note: The Contact, Prospect and Client objects should not be related to queues.
  2. Click the Add button to move your selections from the Available Objects list to the Selected Objects list.

Queue Members

  1. Change the Search drop-down to “Users” if this is not set to this value by default.

    • Use the search field to the right of the search drop-down to search by name if looking for a specific user from a long list of users.
  3. Select the user’s name on the Available Members list. The name will be highlighted in blue when selected.
