The dashboard breaks down your work by Assignment Groups. Assignment groups organize critical work including work approaching regulatory or recovery deadlines. Tasks are prioritized by days to act which means cases that are approaching the next or final deadline will be worked first.
Managers can add specific assignment groups to a user's profile through the Admin Portal which determines the work the user is assigned when they use the Get Next Work button. Multiple assignment groups can be added to the user's profile.
Assignment groups exclude system processing tasks and pending assignments. Assignment groups only include tasks that require action.
Primary Workflow
The recovery path includes several assignments from the following Assignment Groups:
- Daily Maintenance
- Initial Review
- Next Recovery Deadline
- Later Lifecycle
Because tasks in these groups are a part of the recovery path, we refer to these groups as the Primary Workflow.
Flow
Tasks in the Daily Maintenance and Initial Review groups that are not completed by their deadline will move to the Next Recovery Deadline group.
Tasks in the Next Recovery Deadline and Later Lifecycle groups that are coming up on their final deadline will move to the Final Investigation Deadline group.
Tasks in the Final Investigation Deadline group that are not completed by the final deadline will move to the Past Recovery/Reg Deadline group.
Assignment Groups
Daily Critical Assignments
Daily Critical Assignments have a direct impact to customers/members and/or the financial institution. The volume in this assignment group should be completed daily. It is recommended that users assigned to this group have access to external systems where they can complete accounting adjustments and close/reissue the card.

Final Investigation Deadline Assignments
Final Investigation Deadline assignments contain all assignments approaching a final regulatory date. Because this assignment group reflects tasks from all Assignment Groups, users who work in this group must be trained to work all assignments.
The volume in this group is assigned by how soon the regulatory deadline will be reached and then by the claim amount. Managers should review the dashboard daily to ensure all claims that are approaching final regulatory deadlines are reviewed prior to a loss being taken. If an assignment is not completed prior to the final regulatory date, the assignment will be removed from this group and can be found in the Past Reg/Recovery Deadline Assignment Group.
Past Recovery/Reg Deadline Assignments
Past Recovery/Reg Deadline Assignment Group contains any assignment that has past the regulatory or recovery timeframe. Because this assignment group reflects all tasks, users who work in this group must be trained to work all assignments. This assignment group will remain empty if clients are properly managing the Final Reg Deadline and Next Recovery assignment groups.
High Dollar Assignments
The High Dollar Assignments group is only available when a client has configured claims over a certain dollar amount to be worked by a specific group. If this setting is enabled, users can be assigned to this group to work high-dollar claim assignments. Because this assignment group reflects all tasks, users who work in this group must be trained to work all assignments.
Manager Assignments
The Manager Assignment Group contains all approval assignments, where enabled.
Non-Regulatory Assignments
Non-Regulatory Assignment Group contains all claims that are not protected by Regulation E/Z and will filter by the oldest claim age. This assignment group ensures a line of sight to claims that don't have regulatory requirements. Because this assignment group reflects all tasks, users who work in this group must be trained to work all assignments.
Unworkable Assignments
A user can flag any assignment as unworkable which will prevent it from being pulled from any other assignment groups. This group should be assigned to managers or experienced users as a secondary assignment group. If it cannot be resolved, it can be escalated via a support ticket to be reviewed by Quavo.
Exclusion List
The below assignments are excluded from the primary workflow, meaning that these tasks are not a part of the recovery path. These assignments are not directly related to resolving a dispute and are spin-off assignments from the primary workflow.
An example is the Account Maintenance Service Failed assignment. While this is an important assignment it does not prevent a chargeback from going out and will not prevent a loss due to regulatory timelines expiring.
