When an agent finishes a ticket, they have to scan the open tickets list and decide which one to pick next. This creates two problems:
Inconsistency — different agents pick based on different criteria (some pick easy tickets, some pick the newest, some pick their favorite client's tickets)
Cognitive load — scanning and choosing wastes time and mental energy, especially when there are 20+ open tickets
There's no built-in way to present a single sorted queue that says: "This is the next most important ticket. Work on this one."
Proposed Solution
Add a "Next Up" or "Ready Queue" view that automatically sorts unassigned tickets by importance:
SLA urgency — tickets closest to breaching their SLA deadline come first
Priority — Urgent before High before Medium before Low
Age — older tickets before newer ones (at the same priority)
Features:
A "Pull" or "Start Working" button on the top ticket that assigns it to the agent and changes status to active — one click
Queue updates in real-time as new tickets arrive or priorities change
When agents always work on the next most important ticket, the team naturally handles urgent/high-priority work first without needing a manager to assign work. This is especially valuable for:
Solo operators — removes the decision fatigue of "what should I work on next?"
Teams without a dispatcher — the queue replaces the need for someone to manually assign tickets
SLA compliance — tickets approaching their deadline automatically rise to the top
