# Alert assignment groups for teams

Alert assignment groups assign alerts to the right teams promptly and automatically, improving overall incident management capabilities.

Admins determine the alert assignment group priority, making sure that alerts are routed to the appropriate team members.

The Alert assignment group is determined by the **evt\_mgmt.alert\_auto\_assignment\_field** property value. As an admin, you can choose to set the assignment group based on the alert fields using the property value and the order of the comma-separated fields by editing the property value.
