Feature Overview

The Assignment List View feature adds the ability to assign many records to many records. Assigning one or many contacts, organizations, and even Level 1s (includes Level 2 and 3 records) to one or more Level 1s is a as drag-and-drop. Once fully implemented, this enhancement will enable the assignment of many record types (like users, organizations, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3s), to other record types. Phase one of this enhancement (April 2016 Upgrade) adds the ability to attach one or many contacts to Level 1s.
