# 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

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

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.

On Android the shift editor's **Assignments** section is exactly this list — every candidate, each with its validation messages and an **Assign** button.

1. Open the shift, tap **Edit**, and scroll to **Assignments**.
2. Tap **Assign** next to the name.

The assignment is created in place and the row switches to **Remove**. On iOS the candidates live behind the **Add assignment** row instead — tapping a name there assigns them the same way.

## Verify it worked

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