Joseph,

You may want to look at it from a different angle
Instead of trying to randomize the manager,
Have selected managers receive a ( or multiple ) random tickets.
You can then control how many and how often each manager receives tickets.

Subject: Random Email Recipient

** 

Hello listers!

Received a heads-up of a possible requirement from management.

They are emphasizing a quality review of help desk tickets and one idea would 
have workflow that would identify a random subset of help desk tickets, then 
send an email with a link for each ticket to a manager so that the ticket could 
be reviewed. At first I thought that this would be easy as I would use an idea 
published on this board previously to generate that ticket subset, and then 
have the email sent to the manager of the assignee, which is recorded in the 
Assignee Manager Login field of the Help Desk form. However, I was told that 
the email needs to go out to a random manager who is not the manager of the 
ticket assignee - in other words, an ID that does not match that recorded in 
the Assignee Manager Login field. Does someone have an idea or suggestion as to 
how I might randomly select another manager as an email recipient? Appreciate 
the help.

BTW.....we're using ARS 7.0.01 and ITSM 6, and MSSQL 2005.

Thank you!
