On the first day no longer an employee - Find unassigned ticket work and reassign it to the manager

To reassign tickets in bulk go to Tickets >Tickets and apply a filter putting the user's name in the primary responsibility field (NOTE: The user must be a technician and must have access to the ticketing app to select them here). Click apply. Click the checkbox in the header row to select all rows. Choose Actions > Assign and select a user to reassign all the tickets to. This will reassign all the tickets to the person selected. You can notify them so they get an email but the ticket information is not included in the email. The user will see the new tickets in My Work > My assignments. Once you reassign them you can't change them back if the user has already been inactivated.

Tickets >Tickets

On the first day no longer an employee - Find unassigned ticket work and reassign it to the manager

Do the same as above but this time choose responsibility in the filter and set it to the user. You will get all the tickets that have tasks assigned to the user and will have to open each one individually and update the task assignment to the new user.

Tickets >Tickets

On the first day no longer an employee - Find unassigned ticket work and reassign it to the manager

Do the same as above but this time choose the current workflow step resp in the filter and set it to the user. You will get all the tickets that have workflow steps assigned to the user and will have to open each one individually and update the workflow step assignment to the new user. NOTE: To be able to select the employee to use in this filter the employee must still be active. NOTE: The approver cannot be changed on approval steps. The only way to get the approver removed from the ticket is to first reassign the approver in the workflow template. Then open the ticket and add the workflow back to the ticket. This will replace all the workflow steps that had already been on the ticket including those that had been completed. Then look at the ticket feed to see if any workflow steps have already been completed and can just be checked off. Workflow tasks can be reassigned just like tasks in a task template.

On the first day no longer an employee - remove the user from ticketing apps Admin > Ticketing Applications > Tickets > Users
