How to use this section well

A job can be saved as Needs Crew and assigned later from the Dispatch Center.

Use task-based articles first, then reference articles after the workflow is moving.
Share specific article links with crews or customers instead of sending them to the homepage.
Contact support if the live UI does not match the documented path.
