Hi everyone We have recently switched to OTRS ticket system and so far so good. I do have one question though. Our old ticket system use to round robin all the tickets to all the available reps. What I mean is if were 100 tickets and 4 people it would automatically assign each user 25 tickets. Is there a way to do this in OTRS.

There is no default way to do this. It's not an optimal solution,
generally, as it doesn't take into account load balancing (how long the
load of existing tickets can take) or knowledge of request solutions. I
hear there are third party options and other ticket systems that might do
such things, but if you've got a ticket that is a "did you reboot your
computer" and have to wait for n tickets (being assigned to your n
coworkers) to come in before you are assigned another ticket, is that an
optimal way to assign tickets?

I think we might just write a stored procedure to do this I was just
wondering if there was another easier way that I might have missed

I ?believe? that the OTRS.com group has already developed such a module (check www.otrs.com). There are some obvious issues with the solution.
