Allow Agents to Manually Pull Tickets from the Queue

Administrators can choose between several different distribution methods to automatically assign tickets to agents. If the company operates in such a way that agents should not be automatically assigned tickets, administrators should choose the method commonly referred to as "cherry-picking distribution". This will allow agents to manually pick tickets from the queue.
