A Multi-Assign Work Order allows you to assign multiple employees to the same work order.
Best For:
- Jobs that require teamwork or multiple skill sets
- Large or complex tasks that need several people
- Projects where workload must be shared
Benefits:
- Everyone involved can update status, add notes, and log time
- Improves collaboration on larger jobs
- Reduces the need to create duplicate work orders for the same task
