What is a Grader-Based Automation?

Grader Based Automation aims to ensure that each grader receives the specified total number of tickets to grade.

Unlike Agent-Based Assignment type Automations where the goal is to ensure Agents have a specific number of tickets QA'd, the goal of a Grader Based automation is to assign a number of specified tickets to a Grader, regardless of equally splitting the QA by Agent.

Using Grader-Based Assignments in Automations

Step 1: Reaching the correct Automation Form

On the Sharing Automation page click on "Create New Automation". Then, select "Send Agent QA Assignments".

Step 2: Filling out the Agent QA Automation

An Agent QA Automation will have the following sections:

  1. Describe the Automation: What is the name of the Automation and assignments

  2. Choose Rubric: What rubric will be used to grade the assigned tickets

  3. Choose Tickets: What tickets should be assigned for grading

  4. Assign Tickets: Who will receive the grading assignments

  5. Set Schedule: When and how frequently does the automation run

  6. Send Notifications: How will graders be alerted that they have tickets to grade

For this step, fill out every section as you would for a regular Agent Based automation except for the "Assign Tickets" section.

Step 3: Creating the Grader Based Automation

Within the Assign Tickets section, first select "Grader" to specify that this automation will be Grader Based instead of Agent Based.

After this selection, specify what graders will be receiving these tickets to grade. In this case, you can choose to either send tickets to grade to a User Group or individually select graders.

Third, specify how many tickets each grader will receive.

Finally, select what agent group the Grader Based automation will use to assign tickets from.
