You can test a new assignment rule to verify that it works as intended.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_hr_core.admin

## Procedure

1. Create a new HR case.
2. Fill in the fields with data that matches the assignment rule conditions.
3. Submit the HR case.
4. Reopen the case and check that the correct assignment information was added.

## What to do next

If the correct assignment information was not added, check to see whether you are using HR skills and if the user has the required skills.  
Note:  
Assignment groups are assigned at the time an HR case is created from the HR case form. Once the State is changed to Ready, an agent is assigned. When an HR case is created from the Employee Service Center, an HR agent is assigned immediately.

* HR AdministrationHR ServicesHR Templates: Look at the template that corresponds to the assignment rule to see what skills, if any, are required.
