Dispatching Field Maps Tasks

With ArcGIS Workforce retiring, and replaced with Tasks within the Field Maps App - what are we supposed to provide for our dispatchers for Task Assignment?!  Is there an equivalent to Workforce for this?  The documentation on this is super limited at this point.

I understand there is the Field Maps Designer for deploying this, however, this is for the technical GIS staff to deploy.  The solution I require is something for dispatchers to assign and manage work assignments (tasks) for mobile crews.

Did Esri just abandon this component of ArcGIS Workforce and require users to develop it on their own?

Anyone in the know, please help!

Cheers,
Mike

This is possible with the Manager template Instant app. It is possible to do the same in Experience Builder if you enable batch editing in the edit widget.

Want to say thank you to those who have contributed to this thread!  Very valuable information.

Now, my question: do any of you have any pointers on how to interface a system outside of AGOL into this functionality?  A Python Script or a Velocity script are my first two thoughts for getting tasks assigned to workers into the system from an external application.  

Also, in regard to assigning a task to multiple users, I have a use case where moving a piece of machinery takes two or three people to do it safely. 

TIA --
