    How to assign a task with one click in Dumpster Controls

    Every unlocked card has an "Assign" button that opens a driver picker. It is the quickest way to assign without dragging, and the only way on mobile.

    1. 1

      Find the "Assign" button

      On any active card, in the pool or in a lane, click the "Assign" button in the card footer.

    2. 2

      Pick a driver in the "Assign to…" sheet

      A sheet lists every driver with their avatar, current stop count (for example "5 stops"), and a status dot. The driver currently holding the task shows a check mark. Tap a driver to assign or reassign instantly.

    3. 3

      Or send it back to the pool

      If the task already has a driver, the sheet also shows "Unassign (back to pool)" at the bottom.

    What happens next

    • A toast confirms the result: "Task assigned to {name}", "Task reassigned to {name}", or "Task unassigned".
    • The driver gets a "Task Assigned" push notification ("Junk Job Assigned" for junk jobs).

    Troubleshooting

    The card has no "Assign" button.

    Locked cards ("IN ROUTE", "COMPLETED", "FULL DUMPSTER") and the auto-created "NEXT" landfill preview cannot be assigned.
