Then locate the employee that you need by using the filters or navigating the list. - On the employees's profile, select the **"General"** tab located at the top of the client´s profile and click on the **\[blue pencil\]** button on the right-hand side to edit the information. ![](https://www.staffwizard.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26516698347031.png) - Navigate through the employee's general information until you find the labels **"Category", "Position/Title"** and **"Skills".** On each box select the option that you need, then hit the **\[Update\]** button to save the changes. ![](https://www.staffwizard.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26516633106583.png) - Remember that these requirements need to match the ones required for the shift on the client's schedule. If any requirement is missing or if there is a requirement left over, the employee will not appear on the list to assign the shift.
