Dispatcher Assignment to Jobs/Leads
If you have more than 1 person in your office who manages the jobs/leads in your Dispatch account, it may be useful for you to assign certain jobs/leads to specific Dispatchers.
When you assign specific dispatchers to jobs/leads, you will be able to filter your view of the jobs list and map, based on the dispatcher assignment.
Dispatchers have the quick 'My Jobs' filter which will filter their view to only their assigned jobs/leads.
