# On-Call Scheduling

The On-Call Scheduling application identifies the assigned and available member of a support group, for example, when assigning an incident.

## Get started

The On-Call Scheduling application helps you to ensure that dedicated support team members are available to resolve issues as they arise. You can set up on-call schedules, roster rotations, and escalation policies, escalate notifications for a group, and determine the current contact for an escalation.
