Moving agents between handlers

Use these tasks to assign agents to specific handlers. You can assign systems using Agent Handler
assignment rules, Agent Handler assignment priority, or individually using the System Tree. Handler
assignments can specify an individual handler or a list of handlers to use. The list that you specify can
be made up of individual handlers or groups of handlers.
Use a custom handler list to specify which handlers, and in what order, agents
assigned to this group communicate with.
