# Server Assignment Tab

The Server Assignment tab allows you to view the servers assigned to the selected job. It also allows you to assign new servers or server groups to currently active jobs. A filtering mechanism allows you to limit the list of servers to those capable of handling the current job type only.

NoteYou can only modify server assignments for jobs having a status of active.
