Thanks for the advice and links Graham!  You're right, ticket assigment is often done in more sophisticated ways in many help desk environmnets.  And Chris' article is very interesting and shows a nice approach to a "fair" assignment algorithm, especially for a larger or back-logged help desk.  But, I would actually be satisfied with something a little simpler (at least in version1) with my key interest, as you know, being that the *assignment* task take place automatically in some way (no human involved).

Thanks for the tips!

It would be nice to be able to setup an Automation or a Trigger that \*automatically\* assigned new / unassigned / or tickets in a praticular group to an agent using a Round Robin algorithm.  We currently use an APEX app in SalesForce that does this.  I am using the Zendesk suggestion of a "First Line" group where an agent can then assign those tickets to another agent.  \*But\*, our other help desk operators are greatly suspicious of any human that tragically chooses to play that "assigner" role and inevitably plot their demise. If this type of automation is possible using the exiting features, please do share.  :-)

I realize the ITIL importance of making closed tickets un-modifyable, as a system of record.  But, as a part of post analysis and reporting on hundreds of past closed tickets, mining for patterns of support issues, etc., I would like to be able to add and edit the tags on long closed tickets.  For example, if I have an epiphany and want to do something in my Zendesk to help me with something like, "Wow, we sure seem to have been fielding a bunch of upgrade issues with our installed customers over the past 3 months.  I think I'll go try to tally those tickets into some kind of category..." ...just as an example.  It seems that post tagging might do the trick.

Any thoughts / opinions?

David.
