# Creating and Managing Assignments with Dynamic Capabilities
## Admins can create dynamic or frozen assignments in AppSecEngineer with flexible team management and advanced progress tracking. Configure assignment details, submit, and monitor success using in-depth reports for effective training management.
Assignments in the **AppSecEngineer Learning Platform** are now more powerful and flexible than ever. Admins can create **dynamic or frozen assignments**, auto-manage team users, update assignment parameters even after rollout, and track progress through advanced reporting features.
### Step-by-Step: Creating a New Assignment
#### 1. Log in to the Admin Dashboard
Use your admin credentials to access the platform.
Login screen of the AppSecEngineer Learning Portal featuring secure sign-in options via Magic Link, Google, or SSO, with a visual of user authentication on the left.
From the left-side navigation, go to **Admin > Assignments**.
#### 2. Filter Assignment States
On the Assignments page, you can view:
- **Active** – Ongoing assignments
- **Expired** – Completed or time-bound assignments
- **Draft** – Unpublished and editable
 The 'Course Assignments' admin dashboard in AppSecEngineer, showing a list of active assignments with filters for Active, Expired, and Draft. Admins can create or edit course-based security training assignments from this panel.

### 3. Choose Between: **Dynamic vs. Frozen Assignment**
#### **Dynamic Assignment (Default)**
Dynamic assignments allow for real-time flexibility:
- Automatically includes newly added users to assigned teams
- Excludes users removed from those teams
- Editable after publishing — change **dates**, **completion %,** or **courses**
- Assign to **teams only** (not individuals)
 Interface for creating a new assignment in AppSecEngineer, showing Dynamic/Frozen mode toggle, date fields, team selection, and course list.
This is the most flexible assignment type, ideal for continuous learning environments.
#### **Frozen Assignment**
Frozen assignments are fixed:
- Teams and users are locked at the time of creation
- Cannot be edited once published
- Use for compliance training and fixed learning rollouts
 The image shows the "Create Assignment" interface in admin view with "Frozen" mode selected, displaying fields for assignment details and course selection.

### 4. Configure Assignment Details
- **Assignment Name**: e.g., “Cloud Security Training – June 2025”
- **Start Date / End Date**
- **Completion Percentage** (e.g., 100%)
- **Courses/Modules**: Select multiple labs or learning paths
- **Auto-Issue Badges**: Enabled by default
#### Assign To:
- **Dynamic**: Teams only
- **Frozen**: Teams and/or individuals
---
### 5. Submit the Assignment
Click **Submit** to publish. Drafts remain unpublished for further editing.
- **Dynamic assignments**: Can be edited after publishing.
- **Frozen assignments**: Locked once published.

### 6. Track Progress with Reports
Monitor assignment success using built-in reporting:
- Progress by user
- Activity breakdown
- Engagement metrics (excellent, average, poor)
- Filter and **exclude specific users** from reports
 The image displays the Admin's Reports section for assignments, highlighting detailed analytics for the "PCI-DSS App Sec for Java Developers" assignment. It shows 1 active user with 0% progress, 0 completions, and 0 minutes of engagement.
