How to use QA Assignment Group Record Queue
Sometimes, when records are being processed by Assignment Groups, it is possible that they (records) may fail to assign due to data (e.g. missing mandatory field, invalid field value) or downstream processing (e.g. validation rule) and cannot be resolved by a simple retry. In order to minimise the re-processing of this type of failure, a mechanism is introduced to exclude a failed record from further processing until a defined period of time has passed. It is possible to manually release the record (delete new queue object record) early if the issue preventing the assignment is resolved.
This is being done through an Object 'QA Assignment Record Queue' in Q-assign. Storing the unassignable records in the 'QA Assignment Record Queue' object provides more flexibility and in-depth information such that users will now be able to see individual records together with the record's failure details.
What to expect from 'QA Assignment Group Record Queue
Whenever a record goes unassigned, a new email notification will be sent to the 'Notification Recipient' email address in the Scheduler Settings. Along with the email notification, a new QA Assignment Group Record Queue record will be created. This will provide you with visibility of the unassigned record details. Q-assign will not process these records for a period of time (for 1 hour set as default) and then retry assigning them when the 'Next Processing Attempt Date' time is reached.
What if I correct the data on the record and want Q-assign to try again - can I do that?
Yes, if you correct the data on the record and then delete this queue record, Q-assign will process the record in the next run. Another way is to edit the 'Next Processing Attempt Date' on the QA Assignment group record manually for Q-assign to consider the record for the assignment.
Who has access to these unassigned record details?
- Q-assign Administrator: Users with Q-assign Administrator permissions will be able to update/delete any record.
- Q-assign Manager: Users with Q-assign Manager permissions will only be able to update/delete records they own.
- Q-assign User: Users with Q-assign User permissions will only be able to read records they own.
What if I want to change the default wait time from 1 hour to some other time - can I do that?
Yes, you (Q-assign Admin user) can definitely do that by creating a soft-setting. The steps to create the soft setting are mentioned below:
- Go to Setup | Custom Metadata Types | Create a New Custom Metadata Type
- Enter the following Label and Object Name Qassign Customer Setting (Qassign_Customer_Settings)
- Create a text field 'Value' (Text(255))
- Create another text field with label 'Failed Record Retry Period Hrs' and name
- Go to 'Manage Q-assign Customer Settings' as shown below.
-
Create custom metadata type soft setting with following:
- Name (Label) - Failed Record Retry Period Hrs (Failed_Record_Retry_Period_Hrs)
- Value__c: 3 (or any other number of hours you want to set as default)
- Now you will be able to see the retry period as 3 hours instead of the default 1 hour.
Note: For Q-assign Version 4.754 and later, you can set a retry period that is less than 1 hour. For example, if you set the value to 0.5, the retry period will be set to 30 minutes (i.e. 0.5 hours).
How can I get visibility of this object?
