WOTRACK: Batch-assign WOs to a labor (ASSIGNMENT tab/table)

Scenario:

We have multiple WOs for the assets in a given area. The WOs are a one-offs, so we don't have a JP or a route for them.

We want to batch-assign the WOs to a labor (without doing manual data entry for each WO, and without creating a JP or a route).

We don't want to use Assignment Manager or Maximo Scheduler. Reason: batch-assigning WOs to a labor is a simple operation. Nothing complicated like scheduling is required.

It would be helpful if there were an action/dialog that could batch-assign WOs to a labor from within WOTRACK. It's too cumbersome to move away from WOTRACK -- just to assign WOs to a labor.

Note: This is what we mean by "assignments to a labor" (the Assignments tab in WOTRACK): https://i.stack.imgur.com/tTXkd.png

    At this time we will not be considering this enhancement in the next 2 years, having an action on WOT list page would be dangerous as there is no guarentee you have the correct list of WOs all with assignment required for a specific craft. Another danger would be assigning thousands of work records to a single person on a single day. I think it would be best for you to consider using a script or escalation to achive the result your looking for. Thank you again for submitting your idea.
