Round Robin
Cycle through the choices of a designated field assigning the next available choice when an entry is submitted. The cycle starts with the first choice progressing to the next available choice on each submission. After each choice has been assigned it will restart from the first choice.
This functionality is useful when distributing leads evenly to a group of sales reps, scheduling shifts such that employees are assigned to the next available shift, and/or balancing the responsibility of any task-oriented submission (e.g. support request, job application, contest entry).
