Setting up work using a custom Assignment

Set up work using a custom Assignment

There will be occasions when you will want to create a custom assignment because existing assignment templates do not describe the work that is required for a client. An assignment template represents professional services that are used repeatedly by the practice for different clients. An assignment represents professional services carried out by the practice for clients, such as: Compliance Tax, Accounting or Financial Planning

When you create a custom assignment it will only act as a standalone assignment on client you are setting it up for. To make it available for use with other clients you must set it up as an assignment template.
