Explain the activity, expected effort, timing, and whether participation is optional.
Check each entry

Employee Name Picker Wheel FAQs
Can I use employee IDs instead of names?
Yes. A short internal identifier can reduce the personal information shown on a shared screen.
Can the same person be prevented from repeating?
Yes. Enable removal so each selected entry stays off the wheel until reset.
Can this choose someone for specialist work?
No. Specialist work must be assigned using competence, authorization, availability, and risk controls.
