Note
Note Although you can transfer work to a different skill set with both Standard and Enhanced Omni-Channel, this topic is explicitly for Enhanced Omni-Channel. To transfer work with Standard Omni-Channel, see Transfer a Work Item to a Different Skill Set.
Tip
Tip To control who can use the Reassign action and when they can use it, add it as a dynamic action in Lightning Builder instead of adding it to a page layout, as described here. With Lightning builder, you can add visibility rules. See Create Dynamic Actions in Lightning App Builder.

Before you set up work reassignment, complete these prerequisites.

  • Verify that Enhanced Omni-Channel routing is enabled. If it’s not, the Reassign action isn’t available.
  • To reassign work items without a routing configuration to a skill or specific rep, select a default routing configuration in the service channel settings. For example, work that wasn’t originally routed by Omni-Channel doesn’t have a routing configuration.
  1. In Object Manager, open the object, like Case.
  2. To open a page layout where you want to add the Reassign action, click object Page Layouts, and then select a layout.

  3. In the Mobile & Lightning Actions section, drag the Reassign action on to the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of the page layout.
  4. Save the page layout.

The Reassign action appears in the object page.
