# How To Specify If Your Service Provider Handles Emergencies, Non-Emergencies, Or Both

> This guide will show you how to indicate whether a service provider handles emergency work orders, non-emergency work orders, or both. Setting this correctly ensures that work is routed to the right provider based on the type of issue, helping avoid delays and miscommunication.

Click on **People** from the top navigation menu and select **Service Providers**.

<Warning>
  Please note that this setting is modifiable for the service provider and each trade (skill category) they are assigned. That means if you have a service provider that is prioritized for Appliance jobs and HVAC jobs, you will need to modify the job severity setting for the service provider under the Appliance skill category ***AND*** the HVAC skill category. ***This setting does not carry over to additional skill categories the service provider might be assigned to.***
</Warning>
