    Thank you for your reply. I did figure out a quick way of doing what I needed by creating a Group that contains the users who will be the assignees in my absence. I just change the default assignee to that Group and then new incidents go right to them.

Hi there,

 

In checking with the team, one suggestion was to go into the customer emails section and select to override.  Also, set up sending an auto-response that indicated you are unavailable but someone else will get back to them.  Then the other consultant can be actively looking for new incidents and take them over.

 

Hope this helps!
