# Manage jobs with Dispatch Pro Auto Mode

## Overview

When jobs are booked, the workflow is the same with Dispatch Pro as it is without it. The only difference is there are Dispatch Pro-related toggles on the job record. Use these toggles to enable or disable Dispatch Pro for a particular job and manage assignments as needed.

### 

#### Who uses this feature

- Administrators, managers, and dispatchers
- Primarily for Residential Service and Replacement business types

#### Feature configuration

- To get started with Dispatch Pro, review pricing and select your package [here](https://plg.servicetitan.com/dsp). You can also request a demo on our [Pro Products page](https://www.servicetitan.com/features/pro/dispatch), or reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Pro Account Manager (PAM).
- Certain permissions are required to set up and manage Dispatch Pro. To have these enabled, please contact the account administrator on your team. For more, see the *Required permissions* section of [Dispatch Pro](/v1/docs/dispatch-pro).

## Things to know

- Dispatch Pro treats non-job events without timesheet codes and jobs booked with [job types that are not enabled for Dispatch Pro](/v1/docs/adjust-dispatch-pro-prioritization-settings) as locked calendar blocks and optimizes around them. Dispatch Pro only responds to non-job events that include timesheet codes.
- If no other technician is available, Dispatch Pro may assign a technician to a job that is far away within your maximum allowed drive time range.
- Jobs may go from assigned to unassigned or vice versa as Dispatch Pro runs. All jobs unassigned by Dispatch Pro will have an alert explaining the reason.
- Dispatch Pro will *not*:
  - Assign a job to a technician who is on an [on-call shift, a time off shift,](/v1/docs/use-technician-shifts) or has a [non-job event](/v1/docs/schedule-and-manage-non-job-events).
  - Assign multi-technician or multi-day jobs.
  - Place a job on the Dispatch Board before or after its [arrival window](/v1/docs/set-up-arrival-windows) or [business hours](/v1/docs/set-up-business-hours).
- Dispatch Pro assigns, reassigns, and reschedules jobs. Dispatchers still need to unassign, dispatch, arrive, hold, complete, and confirm appointments/jobs as needed. For more, see [View and edit job details from the Dispatch Board](/v1/docs/use-the-job-details-flyout-on-the-dispatch-board) and [Use the Dispatch Board](/v1/docs/use-the-daily-dispatch-board).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Dispatch Pro only reschedules jobs within the arrival window or business hours (depending on [setup](/v1/docs/adjust-dispatch-pro-locking-jobs-settings)). Dispatchers need to manually reschedule jobs when moving to the next day or a completely different time frame.

## Best practices

- [Set up tags](/v1/docs/manage-tags) and tell Dispatch Pro which tags make certain job types a higher or lower priority for your business based on urgency. To maximize your revenue potential, we suggest prioritizing high-urgency jobs that could be vulnerable to competitive loss. For how to prioritize tags, see the [Choose which tags show individual job priority](/v1/docs/adjust-dispatch-pro-prioritization-settings#choose-which-tags-show-individual-job-priority) section of [Adjust Dispatch Pro Prioritization Settings](/v1/docs/adjust-dispatch-pro-prioritization-settings).
- Teach your customer service representatives (CSRs) to apply tags when booking jobs. For how to attach tags to jobs, see [Enter job details](/v1/docs/enter-job-details).

## Manage Dispatch Pro jobs

For customer service representatives (CSRs), the workflow for [booking a job](/v1/docs/book-a-job) is the same with Dispatch Pro as it is without it. The only difference is there are Dispatch Pro-related toggles on the job record:

- **Dispatch Pro:** This toggle is turned on by default when booking jobs with [a job type that has Dispatch Pro enabled](/v1/docs/adjust-dispatch-pro-prioritization-settings). If needed, you can turn on or off the Dispatch Pro toggle for a particular job.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Turning off the Dispatch Pro toggle for a job does not unassign the technician or modify the job in any other way.
- **Technician-specific Job:** This toggle is turned off by default. You can turn it on if you want to ensure that Dispatch Pro doesn't unassign or reassign the job.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**
> 
> - If turning on the **Technician-specific Job** toggle leads to a double booking, Dispatch Pro shifts the start time within the arrival window to try to avoid overlap. If double-booking can't be avoided, Dispatchers should use the [Dispatch Pro Technician Performance Report](/v1/docs/dispatch-pro-technician-performance-report-template) to help them decide how to proceed.
> - If you manually assign a technician to a job at the same time as Dispatch Pro (resulting in double-booking), the manual job is kept and the Dispatch Pro job is removed. The Dispatch Pro toggle is also disabled on the job record.

As with other actions taken on a job, turning these options on or off shows up in the job audit trail.
