marked SAAO will be assigned other types of related groups in addition to those with a special characteristic. Local offices can also limit the number of assignments to a workload by indicating a partial workload, in increments of 10 percent. Local Office Assignment Coordinator Each local office must designate an assignment coordinator to maintain its intake rotation in Bridges. The assignment coordinator can change an automated assignment upon request from local office management when unforeseen cir- cumstances result in an inappropriate assignment (for example, the client is related to the specialist, the specialist has to leave work suddenly). REASSIGNMENT Local office management controls the criteria Bridges uses for automated reassignment by establishing individual profiles on the Manage Office Resources (MOR) Profile screen. This screen identifies ongoing specialist authorizations to maintain specific programs and the following special group characteristics:  Migrant groups.  Family groups.  Non-English-speaking groups.  Groups in SLAs.  Error prone groups.  Groups requiring disability reviews.  Groups assigned to special policy for demonstration projects. Local offices can authorize an ongoing specialist as an SAAO in one or more of the above group characteristics. Staff authorized as an SAAO will be reassigned only related cases which contain a group characteristic the person specializes in. Staff authorized for the group characteristic(s) but not marked SAAO will be reassigned other types of related groups in addition to those with a special characteristic.
