In the time off Time Off configuration, users can add the absent user, alternate assignee, and date which controls the auto assignee function for the absent users. Let’s assume user David Tanya is absent in on dates between 2302/0509/2022 00:00 - 2305/0509/2020 2024 23:59 and as defined before Tanya Joel o’Brien will take care of her issues which means issues are assignable to Tanya Joel automatically.

Rules
Users can create assignment rules for each project separately.
In Global Rules section, users are able to reach the rules that is defined before from the Manage Apps section.
...
For global rules management, you need to visit Global Rule Administration.
By simply clicking the button called Assignment Rules (1), users can easily reach the Global Assignment Rules configuration page. After that, just click the plus sign (2) on the top right top of the page and now you are ready to add create a rule. You can also edit and delete the rules that you created before(3).
While adding an assignment rule, users have to choose the rule name, assignee, assignment strategy, and no assignment scenario. It is also possible to add JQL to the rule.
In Edit 
On the Update Assignment Rule page, there are some fields that you need to understand well which are,
“Project Scope” users can choose a single project, multiple projects, or global(global means ALL projects) for the rule that the user wants to implement it.
“Assignment Strategy” users can make a selection between Round Robin or Random. Let’s assume that we defined more than one assignee, round robin represents that, while implementing the rule assignees will be selected respectively instead of the absent user and random represents that, the user will be selected randomly between the assignees.
“No Assignment Scenario” consists of Alternate Assignee, Unassign Unassigned and Do Not Reassign. Let’s assume there are two users(User A, User B) which are considered as assignee in the Add Assignment Rule screen and a random issue is assigned to User A. However User A is absent. On the other hand, User A had defined a rule for himself before from the admin section configuration page which is(If User A is absent, alternate user will be User B). Then, that predefined rule will be working instead of this rule. Unassign Nothing. Unassigned means if the selected assignee is absent then the issues that are assigned to that user will be automatically set as unassignunassigned. Do Not Reassign Nothing means, nothing will change if the selected user is absent. The issues that are assigned to the absent user users will remain the same and the assignee will still be the same user.
