# Create an Assignment

## Information and instructions to create a Brevity assignment and define assignment settings

### Creating an Assignment

In this article you will learn:

1. [How to access the assignment creator](https://support.brevitypitch.com/en-us/knowledgebase/create-an-assignment#access-assignment-creator)
2. [Step 1 - Selecting people for the assignment](https://support.brevitypitch.com/en-us/knowledgebase/create-an-assignment#select-people)
3. [Step 2 - Selecting role play course(s) for the assignment](https://support.brevitypitch.com/en-us/knowledgebase/create-an-assignment#select-role-plays)
4. [Step 3 - Selecting assignment settings](https://support.brevitypitch.com/en-us/knowledgebase/create-an-assignment#final-details)

### Access the Assignment Creator

You can open the Assignment Creator in two ways:

#### Option 1: From the Assignments tab

![](https://support.brevitypitch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-34-45-2747-PM.png?width=670&height=403&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-34-45-2747-PM.png)

Use this when you want to build an assignment from scratch.

1. Go to **Assignments**.
2. Click **Create assignment**.

The Assignment Creator opens at **Step 1 – Select people** (no role play pre-selected).

 

#### Option 2: From the Courses tab

![](https://support.brevitypitch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-36-15-7330-PM.png?width=670&height=286&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-36-15-7330-PM.png)

Use this when you want to create an assignment from a specific course/role play.

1. Go to **Courses**.
2. Click **Actions button** (⠇) on the course of interest
3. Click **Create assignment**.

 The Assignment Creator opens with that course’s **role play already selected in Step 2**. You can still add **additional role plays** in Step 2 if needed.

---

### Step 1 – Select People

Step 1 is where you choose **who** will receive the assignment. This step is designed for fast bulk selection using search and filters.

 View and search your member list

1. Use the **search bar** at the top of the list to quickly find individuals by name.
2. Use filters to narrow down your list of users
3. Filter by Team membership 
     1. **Common use cases:** 
            1. Assign only to the **Onboarding** team for new-hire training.
            2. Assign to a specific **region or segment** that has unique messaging.
4. Filter by Role - simplify your list by removing admins, if desired
5. Filter by Assignment Status (“Not assigned to…”) 
     1. Use this to find people who are **not yet assigned** to a specific course/role play.
     2. **Common use cases:** 
            1. You’ve launched a new course and want to **catch everyone who missed the original assignment**.
            2. You’ve **added new hires** and want to make sure they’re added to existing programs.
6. Select people 
     1. Use checkboxes to select **individual users**.
     2. Combine multiple filters (e.g., `Team = Onboarding` + `Role = Member` + `Not assigned to = Objection Handling`) to build a very targeted list.
     3. You can **select as many people as you need** for a single assignment.
7. When you’re finished selecting people, click **Next** to move to **Step 2 – Select role plays**.

---

### Step 2 – Select Role Plays

Step 2 is where you choose **what** users will practice.

![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.13.52 AM](https://support.brevitypitch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.13.52%20AM.png?width=670&height=704&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.13.52%20AM.png)

If you launched the Assignment Creator from **Courses \> Actions \> Create assignment**:

- The associated **role play is pre-selected** in Step 2.
- You can: 
    - Keep that single role play, or
    - Add more role plays by checking additional boxes in the list.

1. Find role plays using search 
     1. Use the **search bar** at the top of the role play list to search by **role play name**.
     2. Helpful when you know the exact scenario you want (e.g., type “Discovery – Mid-market”).
2. Find role plays using Filters
3. Filter by Folder
   
     1. Folders help you organize and quickly find the right content. You might have folders like:
        
            1. By **role**: `Inside Sales`, `AEs`, `CS`
            2. By **call type**: `Qualification`, `Discovery`, `Negotiation`
            3. By **training program**: `Onboarding`, `Q1 Sales Play`, `Renewals`
            4. By **initiative**: `New Product Launch`, `Competitions`
     2. Common **use cases:**
        
            1. Assign all role plays in your **Onboarding** folder to a new-hire team.
            2. Pull all **Negotiation** scenarios when running a focused skills sprint.
4. Filter by Creator
   
     1. Use this when you want to focus on **official, team-owned content** and/or filter out member-generated role plays.
     2. **Common use cases:**
        
            1. **Exclude member-created content** (e.g., created via Ella or the course builder) when you’re setting up formal training.
            2. Quickly find all role plays created by your **enablement team** or a specific program owner.
5. Select one or multiple role plays
   
     1. Check the box next to each role play you want to include.
     2. You can assign **one** role play or **multiple** role plays in a single assignment.
     3. When you select multiple role plays, remember you’ll set **requirements** (e.g., how many conversations and how often) in Step 3.
6. When you’ve selected your role plays, click **Next** to move on to **Step 3 – Final details**.

 

**Note:** Assignment names are automatically created from the selected role play and cannot be customized when creating or editing an assignment.

 

### Step 3 - Final Details

The assignment settings tab allows you to designate assignees and customize the parameters of the role play for users. See below for a breakdown of every configurable field in the Assignment Settings window.

![](https://support.brevitypitch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-14-2026-01-33-12-5287-PM.png?width=1020&height=1614&name=image-png-Apr-14-2026-01-33-12-5287-PM.png)

**Scripts can be directly configured in a Context Milestone or will be generated by the AI.**  Script generation will use items from your Knowledgebase to curate scripts during role play.

If no script or KB items are provided, the LLM will generate a script for you. If your Org has not yet completed Guided Setup or uploaded items to your Knowledgebase, it is recommended that Scripts mode remain off to prevent LLM hallucinations or inaccuracies.

1. Assignment Name 
     1. Available to customize during creation of a single assignment or to edit if creating multiple assignments at once. Defaults to the name of the selected role play.
2. Scripts 
     1. When enabled, AI-scripts are generated and presented to the user during the role play assignment. In "Scripts mode", users are assessed against how closely they follow the provided script. Brevity recommends disabling scripts except in specific cases.
3. Hints 
     1. When enabled, AI-generated hints are presented to the user during the role play assignment. These hints help guide the user through the milestones.
4. None 
     1. When enabled, users have to option to practice without hints or scripts. This is the required practice mode for muting the AI during a role play.
5. Available Languages  
     1. For Teams where Multi-lingual is enabled, language options will be available per-assignment. The displayed default languages are inherited from team or organization settings, but they can be customized for each assignment. For more information, see: [Managing Languages for your Team](https://support.brevitypitch.com/en-us/knowledgebase/manage-supported-role-play-languages-at-the-team-level?hsLang=en-us)
     2. In the Languages drop-down menu, select the languages in which users can complete the role play conversation. Languages
6. Make Available for Phone-Based Role Play 
     1. When enabled, this assignment will be available to users of Brevity phone-based role plays.
7. User can Mute the AI 
     1. When enabled, the User will see a mute button appear when hovering over the AI Persona's image inside the practice screen. Use of this feature requires that "Support" is set to "Unassisted" during the practice session.
8. Allow pause during recording 
     1. When enabled, the User will see a Pause button appear after recording begins. If they need to pause the session due to an interruption, to collect their thoughts, etc, they will have up to 15 minutes granted in 5 minute increments. If the time runs out without resuming or extending, or if all pause time is exhausted, the session will automatically end and progress saved.
9. Allow audio-only recording 
     1. When enabled, the User will have the option to turn off their camera for an audio-only practice. In the replay, the User's video will be replaced by their avatar.
10. AI can end the conversation 
      1. When enabled, the AI persona can end the role play conversation. This is useful in many scenarios, and Brevity recommends enabling this option in most cases
11. Allow retries after hang up 
      1. Appears if "AI can hang up" is enabled
      2. Gives the Assignee the opportunity to try again if the AI chooses to end the call
      3. Choosing to "retry" picks up the conversation right where you left off
      4. Give your users up to 5 retries per conversation
12. Completion Criteria 
      1. Select criteria for completing an assignment for all selected Users and role plays.
      2. Brevity supports score thresholds: 
             1. Score above 85 in at least 3 sessions
             2. Score above 85 in 3 consecutive sessions
      3. Or complete the assignment by number of attempts only (total or consecutive).
13. Recurring 
      1. When enabled, a frequency dropdown appears (Daily, Weekly, Monthly). Recurring assignments stay re-practicable and track progress in rolling time windows instead of becoming one-and-done. Users and Admin will see progress relative to practice sessions within the recurring time window.
14. Lock assignment after completion criteria are met 
      1. When enabled, assignments are marked "completed" upon criteria being met for each individual assigned the role play. After completion, users will be able to review their previous attempts but will not be able to practice on that assignment.
