What this feature does and when to use it?

The Transfer Ownership feature allows you to transfer record ownership from one user to another within Recruit CRM. This helps ensure that important records are actively managed and assigned to the appropriate team member when users leave the organization, are deactivated, change roles, or when teams are being restructured.

Use this feature when:

• A team member leaves your organization and their records need to be reassigned.

• A user is deactivated, and you want their records transferred to an active user.

• You are restructuring teams and need to consolidate records under a different owner.

• You want to maintain continuity and ensure all records have an active owner responsible for managing them.
