  2. In the Dispatch teams form, click New to create a new team.

  3. In the Dispatch team field, enter a unique name for the dispatch team.

  4. In the Owner field, select the employee who is responsible for this team.

    Note

    You can select only employees in this field. You can’t select vendors.

  5. Optional: In the Description field, enter a brief description for this dispatch team.

Note

You can assign a worker to this dispatch team in the Worker form. For more information about how to assign a worker to a dispatch team, see Dispatch workers (form).
