# Setting up assignment groups

Associate your assignment groups with an internal or external business organization \(formerly internal or external business location\). This association forms a one-to-many \(1:M\) relationship, which means, one or more groups can be associated with a service organization. This process makes it easier to route cases to the appropriate team member using the inter-organization support capability.

**Important:** Some table and field labels have been changed across recent releases. For a mapping of former labels to current labels, see [Service Model Foundation renamed Entities](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/customer-service-management/renamed-entities.md).
