What is Assignment Type?

Assignment Type is a job or workflow type. For example, a building & pest inspection, groundwater sampling or a defect assessment.

Even though the presence for Assignment Type and Work Template on Obzervr Capture is the same, there are differences between them in terms of a few functions, which we will discuss later.

Why do we need this Assignment Type?

As mentioned above. there are functions enabled only when you create a Work Template as an Assignment Type, namely:

• Laboratories or Sampling
• Calculated Field Measures
• Alerts

An Assignment Type could be converted to a Work Template, however, the mentioned functions will be removed and you need to Publish the converted Work Template again to see in Obzervr Capture.

Therefore, it is essential to learn about Assignment Type.
