Auto-Assign

When enabled, new submissions are automatically assigned to processors based on workload.

How It Works

  1. A new submission arrives
  2. The system checks if auto-assign is enabled
  3. It finds the processor with the fewest active items
  4. If there’s a tie, it picks whoever was assigned least recently (round-robin)
  5. The submission is automatically claimed for that processor
Auto-assign runs immediately when a submission is created. There’s no delay.

Manual Override

Auto-assign doesn’t prevent manual work:
  • Processors can still click Claim on any unassigned item
  • Pull Next still works in My Queue
  • Admins can reassign items at any time

Managing Auto-Assign (Admins)

1

Open the Team Panel

Click the “Team” button in the funding queue header
2

Toggle Auto-Assign

Use the switch to turn auto-assign on or off
3

Set Max Load

Set a maximum number of items per processor. Once reached, they won’t receive new auto-assignments.
4

Toggle Processors

Mark processors as active or inactive. Inactive processors won’t receive auto-assignments.

Processor Workload

The Team panel shows each processor’s current load. Auto-assign always gives work to the processor with the least items, keeping the team balanced.
