<font color="#67854E">**Question**</font>: How do I assign technicians to specific events in DairyComp?

<font color="#67854E">**Answer**</font>: To ensure specific technicians (or groups of technicians) are assigned to specific events, you'll need to first create a team. For example, you could make a Maternity team to enter all FRESH events into DairyComp.

Follow the steps below when assigning technician teams to events:

## Change Technician of an Event

When you assign certain events to an animal (for example, a BRED event), you're given the option to assign a particular technician to the event. Follow these steps to change the event technician directly from an animal's CowCard:

1. On the CowCard, right-click on the applicable event and select **Change Event** to open the Event Editor.

2. Click in the **Tech** field to select a different technician from the drop-down list and then click **OK**.

## Advanced Technician Options

DairyComp allows you to perform advanced functions within the Technicians and breeding codes window. To access these options, enter `ALTER\M` at the command line, and then select the **Breeding and Technicians** option as usual. When the window opens, it will have three additional tabs for the advanced functionality.

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/LgbfYAa_xWm_XzIWsepby_advancedfuctions.png" size="32" width="1260" height="596" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}

Click on the applicable tab to perform one of the following functions:

- <font color="#67854E">**Remap a Tech**</font>: This function allows you to remap one technician number to another technician number. This changes the technician number on all related events for a date range you specify.
- <font color="#67854E">**Tech Prompting**</font>: Enable this feature to have DairyComp prompt you for the name of a technician when entering an event.
- <font color="#67854E">**Delete All Techs**</font>: This function deletes all of the technicians configured for DairyComp.

  :::hint{type="warning"}
