Behavior Assignments
The Behavior Assignments and Teams dialog lets
you group
delegates into teams (page 2–1055) ,and
assign
behaviors and cognitive controllers (page
2–1057)
to individual delegates and teams. It also
lets you modify existing assignments.
Thedialogismodeless;whileit’sopen,youcan
use the Modify pa nel to adjust behaviors and set
up new behaviors, as well as animate assignments’
Weig ht sett ings.
Note: Crowd doesn’t let you use multiple cognitive
controllers with a delegate. You can assign them,
but when you solve, the software notifies you that it
will use only the first assigned cognitive controller.
Note: The Enable Flashing option helps you see
which delegates are affected by different ac tions in
this dialog. When it’s turned on, and you perform
