# Crews

Crews help you organize your field team for production scheduling. Use them to group team members, assign a lead, choose a calendar color, and assign jobs on the Production Calendar.

## How crews work

Crews are used in the Production Calendar to organize job assignments. Each crew has a name, a lead, and a calendar color. Once a crew is created, you can assign it to jobs and manage scheduling by crew.

Crews support:

* Crew names for clear production assignments
* Crew leads chosen from active Team or Sales users
* Calendar colors for faster schedule visibility
* Job assignment in the Production Calendar
* Crew-based scheduling for current and upcoming work
