Queue Management

Queues provide managers a view that answers questions like, "what are my resources working on currently?", "how many tasks are pending?", and "do any tasks require reallocation?". Queues provide users a view that answers questions like "what is my work?", "how much of my work is pending?", and "what is the priority of my tasks?".

FortiSOAR provides you with the Queue Management feature that provides you with an overview of work (records) that requires to be completed and enables you to assign pending work to users. You can also reassign assignments in case of absence or shift change.

Note

The Alerts, Incidents, and Tasks modules are added as default modules in Queue Management. You do not require to configure these modules for Queue Management.

Queue Management roles

Logical Role Description Minimum permissions required
Queue administrator The queue administrator has the rights to manage queues, including creating and deleting queues, assigning a queue leader and members and assigning tasks.
A queue administrator can also be a queue leader or a queue member.
Create, Read, Update, and Delete permissions on the System Assigned Queues module.
Queue leader A queue lead has similar rights to the queue administrator, except that the lead cannot create or delete queues.
A queue leader can also be a queue member.
Read and Update permissions on the System Assigned Queues module.
Queue member A queue member can view, assign, and remove the items from their queue. Read permissions on the System Assigned Queues module.
Note

To change the configurations or settings of queues, you must be assigned a role that has Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) permissions on the Application module and at the minimum Read permissions on the System Assigned Queues module.

Prerequisites to configuring queue management

To use queue management, follow the given steps to enable a module for queue management:

Note

The following procedure is an example of how you can enable a module for queue management. This procedure takes the example of the 'Alerts New' module. By default the Alerts, Incidents, and Tasks modules are added as default modules in Queue Management and therefore you do not need to add the System Assigned Queue to any of these modules.

  1. User must be assigned the role that has Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) permissions on the Application module and at the minimum Read permissions on the System Assigned Queues module.
  2. Click Settings and click Modules in the Application Editor section, to open the Module Editor.
  3. On the Modules page, from the drop-down list, select the module for which you want to enable queue management.
    For example, select Alerts New.
  4. Click the Fields Editor tab and click Add (+).
  5. Add the Properties for the field as follows:
    Field Type: Lookup (One to Many or One to One)
    Related Module: System Assigned Queues
    Field Title: System Assigned Queues
    Note: The Field API Key gets automatically populated as systemAssignedQueue.
    Properties for the System Assigned Queue field Click Save and Publish the module. Once the module has published, you are now ready to start configuring queue management.

Configuring queue management

  1. User must be assigned the role that has Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) permissions on the Application module and at the minimum Read permissions on the System Assigned Queues module.
  2. Click Queue Management in the left navigation bar.
  3. In the Unassigned Action Items pane, you can view the module (s) that have been enabled for queue management. See the Prerequisites section for information on how to enable a module for queue management. In our example, we can see the Alerts module.
    Note: The Alerts module is added as a default module in Queue Management, which does not require any configuration. The following images and steps are a representation of how you can configure any other module in Queue Management.
  4. To open the Queue Dashboard Module Configuration dialog, click the Settings (Settings icon) icon.
    Unassigned Action Item pane: Filter/Sorting Configuration
  5. On the Unassigned Items tab, click the module from which you want to assign items, for example, click Alerts. This displays the User Assignment Field in "Module Name" drop-down list in which select the field that is used in the module for assigning the record to a user. For example, select Assigned To.
    Note: By default, lookup fields in FortiSOAR display only the first 30 items. If you want to search for more than 30 items, please use the Search text box.
  6. In the Filter Criteria for Unassigned "Module Name" section, add a criterion that filters the User Assignment Field in the module (Alerts in our example) for unassigned records, i.e., set the User Assignment Field in "Module Name" field to (Assigned To" in our example) to null, as shown in the following image:
    Unassigned Item Configuration tab
    Also, in the Card Marker in "Module Name" drop-down list, select the criteria based on which you that you want to display the marker beside the unassigned items. You can choose between Severity, Status, and Type. For example, if you select Severity as the criteria, markers are displayed beside the unassigned alerts, so that users can immediately know the items that they need to prioritize.
    The nested filter component is also added to the Unassigned Items and Assigned Items tabs, allowing you to filter these items. For more information about nested filters, see the Dashboards, Templates, and Widgets chapter.
    Note: You cannot apply filters to encrypted fields.
  7. Click the Assigned Items tab, click the module from which you want to assign items, for example, click Alerts. This displays the Filter Criteria for Queue "Module" section to add a criterion that filters records that specifies the field and state to determine that the task (record) is not completed, and therefore should be added to the queue. For example, for the Alerts module, specify that the Status field of the record is not Closed, as shown in the following image:
    Queue Items Configurations tab
  8. (Optional) In the Default Sort For Queue <Name of the module> section, you can specify the sorting criteria for records in the queue. For example, for the Alerts module, specify that the records should be sorted on Severity in the descending order.
