This function sets up the employees' responsibilities or job roles for completing work in the practice. The responsibility type is used when assigning employees to their Assignment Team. The system comes with a number of default responsibilities and levels. Any of these can be amended or new ones added to suit the practice. The description Team Member has the Allow Multiple box checked. This is the default to allow you to select more than one team member at one time when you add an employee to an Assignment Team.

Select the Allow Multiple checkbox if you want multiple instances of the responsibility type to be available for selection when you add employees to an Assignment Team. The Allow Multiple check box is the default for the Team Member type.
