You can use the search bar to locate an agent or a team quickly.
The ticket is now assigned.
To assign a ticket from its Detail View:

You can use the search bar to locate an agent or a team quickly.
The ticket is now assigned. You can change the ticket owner at any time.
The agents will receive an email notification when a ticket is assigned to them. Likewise, when a ticket is assigned to a team a notification is sent out to all the agents in the team.
You can also assign a bunch of tickets from the Ticket List View. For example, you can open a view, select the tickets you want to assign and then assign them all in a click.
