# Assignments

A single job can have multiple assignments, allowing different technicians or resources to be scheduled for the same job. This is useful when the job requires more than one skill set, multiple visits, or additional support from other team members.

Each assignment is recorded separately and can have its own scheduled start time, end time, and assigned technician. This gives dispatchers full flexibility in planning and ensures all required resources are allocated efficiently.
