What is the Queue Overview?

The queue overview offers a view of all queues in which tickets are present, and for which the user has RW permissions.

The queue overview offers a variety of options for daily work with OTRS. The first of these is the My Queue. In the Agent Preferences, or when administering agents, a set of queues can be defined for which the agent has been assigned to work within. All the tickets will appear in this default view, when accessing the Tickets -> Queue View menu.

The second option offered by the Queue View is a drill down navigation into individual queues and sub-queues containing tickets to be worked upon.

In both of the view types, the user also has the added ability to see either all unlocked tickets (this is the default filter), or the user can then choose to view all available tickets. Tickets must be in one of the viewable state types to be shown in the queue view. Per default, these are open, new, pending reminder, pending auto.

There are visual alarms, to aid the user.
