Novell Service Desk

Situation

Is it possible within Novell Service Desk to re-assign an incident from an technician to an specific queue?

Resolution

Novell Service Desk does not support this feature, as it is against all ITIL guidelines to assign an incident to a queue. When assigning an incident to a technician, as oppose to a queue, it creates accountability for the incident to be resolved in a timely manner.
When assigning an incident to a queue with no technician assignment, there is a risk of the incident falling through the ranks with no one being held accountable for the resolution of the incident, therefore breaching all SLAs.
