#### Overview

Managing alerts efficiently is crucial for teams working in shifts. Pagerly enables time-based round-robin assignment of Alerts and Incidents

This ensures fair and balanced distribution of workload among available agents while maintaining efficient ticket resolution.

### Create Round Robin Schedule

You can create a Timewise schedule or Task wise schedule ( rotate user per task or alert assignment)

* [Timewise Round Robin Schedule ](/how-to-work-with-pagerly/create-round-robin-rotations.md)-> each user/ agent has fixed schedule created round robin wise
* [Task wise Round Robin Schedule](/how-to-work-with-pagerly/round-robin-rotations-for-tasks-picking.md) -> rotate user per ticket / issue assisgment

Use cases

1. **Fetch Active Agents**: Pagerly pulls real-time shift data from your on-call schedule.
2. **Time-Based Round Robin**: Issues are assigned to only those agents who are currently working.
3. **Auto-Assignment**: When a new Jira issue is created, Pagerly automatically assigns it to the next available agent in the round-robin queue.
4. **Load Balancing**: Ensures even ticket distribution to prevent overload on any single agent.

#### **Benefits**

* **Fair Distribution**: No agent is overwhelmed with tickets while others are offline or assigned to other oncall.
* **Automated Process**: Eliminates manual ticket assignment, saving time.
* **Improved Response Times**: Ensures that only available agents receive new tickets, leading to faster resolutions.
* **Scalable & Customizable**: Works for teams of all sizes with customizable rules.
