# How to quick-assign from the eligible-people list

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** A shift edit page open.

The shift edit page has an **'Eligible people'** list — each row has an **'(Assign)'** link that creates the assignment without opening another form.

## Quick-assign

1. On the shift edit page, find the **'Eligible people'** section.
2. Next to a name, click **'(Assign)'**.

The assignment is created in place; the page refreshes to show the new assignment in the **'Assigned'** list.

## Verify it worked

The person moves from **'Eligible'** to **'Assigned'** on the shift, and a success toast confirms.
