Assigning Work Manually with Work Assignment Assistant

Work can be assigned manually in the Work Assignment Assistant. (Manual assignment provides the option of reviewing the suggested assignments.)

The OPS > Work Assignment Assistant properties determine how this feature functions.
  1. In the Work Assignment Assistant screen set the Context (F3).
  2. Select the Agency to which to assign work.
  3. Select the Profile to use for assignment.
    The dropdown list includes profiles created from the Work Assignment Assistant Profile screen.
  4. Select the Date on which to assign work.
  5. Optional: Modify the other fields.
    These values are set by the selected work assignment assistant profile. If the OPS > Work Assignment Assistant > Work Assignment Profile > Enforce Work Assistant Profile property is selected, the fields won't be editable.
  6. Do one or more of the following until all work has been assigned:
    • To assign suggested work and go on to the next employee, select Next: Next. If a confirmation message appears, select Yes.
    • To assign suggested work and go to the previous employee, select Previous: Previous. If a confirmation message appears, select Yes.
    • To reject the suggested work assignment, select the row with the unassigned work to reject and select Unassign Work: Unassign Work. The rejected work moves to the Work Available For Assignment pane.
    • To assign other open work to the employee during the first pass, select the work in the Work Available For Assignment pane and select Assign Work: Assign Work. The selected pieces move to the Assigned and Suggested Work pane. You can then select Next or Previous to assign the new suggested work.
    If open work remains when you complete a pass, a message appears. You can then repeat the process for extraboard or volunteer workers. To assign work to different employee subtypes, change the screen Context settings.
