Prioritizing a Service Provider in a Skill Category

_Please note: _It’s important to add your preferred service providers to your priority list, as they will not show up in the list of available service providers for a certain skill during the assignment process if they are not on your priority list. Furthermore, you need to select all the relevant skills for your preferred service providers in addition to adding them to your priority list.
To prioritize service providers based on their skills, go to your Latchel Portal and click on the People menu, then select Service Providers.
Now on the Service Providers page, under the Categories & Prioritization tab, click the corresponding dropdown icon of the category that you want to prioritize a service provider.
Then click on the + Include Service Provider button.
Now select which service provider you want to prioritize and click + include.
After selecting the service provider you want to add to your priority list, you will be asked to choose the specific skills you want to assign to them. This feature allows you to limit the scope of work for a certain service provider. Once you have selected the skills, click the Save button to confirm.
After adding the new service provider to your priority list, they will be placed at the bottom of the list. This means that they will only be assigned to work orders for a particular skill category if there are no higher-priority service providers available. If you want to change the order of your priority list or remove a service provider, you can do so by following the instructions in the next section below.
