Adjusting source priorities

In order to prevent conflicts between two or more rules that could otherwise apply to the same issue, Out of Office allows users to define what source should prevail.

​This article describes how to prioritize between different sources, when multiple integrations are creating out of office rules.

In the example below, there are 4 sources for rules:

  • Manual entries

  • Slack

  • Outlook

  • Tempo

Access the rule list, with more than one source
  • Click on the Source Priority button

Click on the Source Priority button
  • The dialog will display the sources that are currently connected.

Double check the rules list 


Don't forget

It's important to note that:

  • Rules are ordered by status first, priority second. Active rules will always be at the top, followed by scheduled rules.

  • Active rules will stop working at the first All projects rule in the list, with the remaining active rules not going into effect.
