# How to open the assignment form

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** A shift.

The full assignment form lets you set the person, role, and any per-assignment notes — heavier than the calendar's quick-assign dropdown but with more control.

## Open the form

1. Open the shift from the calendar or the {doc}`/plan-schedules/shift-list/index`.
2. Click **'Assign new person'**.

The assignment create form opens.

## Verify it worked

You see the assignment form with the eligible-people dropdown ready.
