Migrating staff groups

Staff groups were used in the previous schedule optimization model in LFSO, also known as the Staff Groups model, to organize employees into logical groups that are assigned using the same set of schedule rules. You can migrate a staff group to create an Auto-Assignment group based on the rules configured for the staff group. This can reduce the effort required to migrate customers from the Staff Groups model to the Auto-Assignment model.

The migration process converts shift rules and break rules from the staff group to the new Auto-Assignment group. Whenever possible, the migration process converts schedule rules configured for the staff group into equivalent Auto-Assignment rules. Because of differences in the underlying structure off staff groups and Auto-Assignment groups and in the behavior of some rules, some decisions and manual changes are required after the migration process. Consult with the customer to determine their scheduling requirements and determine how Auto-Assignment groups can be configured to satisfy them.
