Setting the Assignment group with Assignment Rules
Assignment Rules are a simpler alternative to Data Lookup. While Data Lookup is very powerful, allowing you to set any field, it does involve a quite a bit of configuration, including creating a new table.
In contrast, an Assignment Rule uses the simpler condition builder to specify when it should run. If it matches, then it'll either populate the Assigned to and Assignment group fields with a hardcoded value, or you can use a script. We have got the group we want to use in a property, so this option is perfect. Follow these steps:
- Name : Assign to External Team
- Table : Maintenance [x_hotel_maintenance] ...

There's more content available only to authenticated users. Calculate the duration of an incident based on the Assignment Group. Most of the cases, the incident will be traversed to multiple teams for resolution. In such cases, if we want to calculate the duration.
The way you described it can be done with the assignmemt group metric. This is an out of box metric definition that gives duration of any incident assigned to a group. What you are looking for is the assignment group metric. The metrics table to look at is a database view called "incident_metrics" if I remember correctly.
We created a custom field on the user table called "default assignment group" and set the user's primary group there. Then we created a client script and I believe a related GlideAjax to update the assignment group whenever the assigned to changes. The assignment group on the ticket can be updated after that, but it will always default to the ...
current.task_fulfillment_group.setValue(assignment_group); as that would be a Sys ID and not the display value of the location. The script would be running on the current task record, so it's accessed using current. Also, take steps to verify that the field name is indeed task_fulfillment_group.

Assigned to and Assignment group. The Assigned to [assigned_to] field is a reference field type that points to the Users [sys_user] table. This field is generally used to designate a user to work on, or be responsible for the task. By default, this field has a reference qualifier (role=itil) set on its dictionary record that prevents any non-itil user from being assigned to a task.
If it matches, then it'll either populate the Assigned to and Assignment group fields with a hardcoded value, or you can use a script. We have got the group we want to use in a property, so this option is perfect. Follow these steps: Navigate to System Policy > Rules > Assignment, and click on New. Use the following values, and Save.
