Turning task auto-assignment on or off

Breadstack Delivery's auto-assignment function distributes incoming tasks to your drivers.

Turning this function on helps you maximize efficiency by ensuring tasks are immediately assigned. Auto-assignments also take into account each driver's capacity and distance from the location. The criteria auto-assignment takes into account are driver's capacity and distance from the location.

If auto-assignment is off, a dispatcher will need to assign and reassign all new tasks manually. Learn more about manual task assignment.

To toggle auto-assignment on or off:

1. Go to Settings > Organization.
   
2. Click the auto-assignment toggle to adjust.
   
3. Click Save.
