🤔 What can I do with these results?
Aside from being a convenient way to view agent assignment and weight for a certain ability (or number of abilities), this method provides a central location for making bulk changes. Recall the Assignment CSV File feature in the Import Assignments section above, where you can upload changes to assignments and weights.
Assign (ignore updates): Selected agent assignments will be updated with the designated ability/weight(s). If the agent(s) are already assigned the ability, the weight will NOT be changed to the new value.
Once this option is selected, a prompt to enter a Weight in the Action column will appear
Scroll down and click Continue
Select agent(s) to receive this ability/weight
Click Continue
Confirmation of the agent(s) that received the updated skill will be displayed:
*If agent(s) already had the assigned ability, they will be ignored and weight will not be updated:
*If agent(s) had ever been assigned the skill in the past, they will be reactivated at the weight they were last assigned:
Assign (apply updates): Using the above steps, selected agent assignments will be updated with the designated ability/weight(s). If the agent(s) are already assigned the ability, the weight will WILL be changed to the new value.
Unassign: Using the above steps, selected abilities will be removed from the designated agents.
Unassign will appear as "Suspended" in the Override Log.
