+Count Active Incidents Assigned to Inactive Users 
+
+This script uses GlideAggregate to efficiently count the number of active incidents assigned to inactive users. 
+
+This is a crucial task for maintaining data hygiene and preventing incidents from being stalled due to inactive assignees. 
+
+Overview The script performs the following actions: Initializes GlideAggregate: Creates an aggregate query on the incident table. 
+
+Filters Records: Uses addQuery() to restrict the search to incidents that are both active (true) and assigned to a user whose active status is false.
+
+This filter uses a "dot-walk" on the assigned_to field to check the user's active status directly within the query.
+
+Aggregates by Count: Uses addAggregate() to count the number of incidents, grouping the results by assigned_to user.
+
+Executes and Logs: Runs the query, then loops through the results. 
+
+For each inactive user found, it logs their name and the number of active incidents assigned to them. Use case This script is essential for regular cleanup and maintenance. 
+
+It can be used in: Scheduled Job: Automatically run the script daily or weekly to monitor for and report on incidents assigned to inactive users. 
+
+Installation As a Scheduled Job Navigate to System Definition > Scheduled Jobs.
+
+
+Click New and select Automatically run a script of your choosing. Name the job (e.g., Find Incidents Assigned to Inactive Users).
+
+
+Set your desired frequency and time. Paste the script into the Run this script field. Save and activate the job. As a Fix Script Navigate to System Definition > Fix Scripts.
+
+Click New. Name it (e.g., Find Active Incidents with Inactive Assignee).
+
+
+Paste the script into the Script field. Run the script to see the results in the System Log. 
+
+
+Customization Targeted tables: Change the table name from incident to task or any other table with an assigned_to field to check for active records assigned to inactive users.
+
+
+Automated reassignment: Extend the script to automatically reassign the incidents to a group or another user. This is a common practice to ensure that tickets do not get stuck in the queue. Email notification: Instead of logging the information, modify the script to send an email notification to the group manager or another stakeholder with the list of incidents needing attention.
