Scheduled Team view - Additional features

Displaying availability

The option to display availability within the Scheduled Team view is controlled by the DISPLAY_AVAILABILITY parameter, located in system/modules/mvse/views/VIEW_ID_SCHED_TEAM.

The default value varies, depending on whether a new MVS installation or an MVS upgrade installation was performed:

  • For all new installations, this parameter is set to True, which means availability displays in the Scheduled Team view by default.
  • For all upgrade installations, this parameter is set to False, which means availability does not display in the Scheduled Team view by default.

You can only use the DISPLAY_AVAILABILITY parameter in conjunction with MVS-wide availability configuration. MVS-wide availability is configured with the USE_AVAILABILITY parameter, located in system/modules/mvse/views.

Displaying all employees

The option to display all employees within the Scheduled Team view is controlled by the DISPLAY_ALL_EMPLOYEES parameter, located in system/modules/mvse/views/VIEW_ID_SCHED_TEAM.

The default value varies, depending on whether a new MVS installation or an MVS upgrade installation was performed:

  • For all new installations, this parameter is set to True, which means the Scheduled Team view displays all the employees assigned to the selected team, whether it is their home team or their temporary team, even if employees are not scheduled or are only scheduled to unassigned shifts.
  • For all upgrade installations, this parameter is set to False, which means the Scheduled Team view displays only scheduled employees.

Multi-week support

The multi-week support feature is available with weekly totals. This feature includes adding a static column/header and relocating the Total column. (The Total column previously displayed on the right side of the MVS screen, but has been relocated between the employee names and the schedule.)

On Call identification

The On Call identification feature includes:

  • Schedule view consistency in how they show time codes based on long-term absence (LTA) or oncall (OCN) special conditions.
  • Unstaffed shifts with an ONCALL activity will be marked as unstaffed shifts (rather than ONCALL).

Time code coloring

Time code coloring is available for LTA, Not Available, and On Call.

Customizing availability cells

To customize availability cells in the Scheduled Team view:

  • The option to configure the availability cells within the Scheduled Team view is controlled by the AVAILABILITY_CELL_TEMPLATE parameter, located in system/modules/mvse/views/VIEW_ID_SCHED_TEAM/templates.
  • The option to configure the availability cells within the Scheduled Team view when printing as PDF is controlled by the AVAILABILITY_CELL_TEMPLATE_PDF parameter, located in system/modules/mvse/views/VIEW_ID_SCHED_TEAM/templates.
  • Out of the box, the PDF availability cells exactly match what is displayed on the schedule. You can use this parameter to make the availability cells in the PDF different.

Configuring cell dimensions

The option to configure Scheduled Team view cell dimensions is controlled by the CELL_DIMENSIONS parameter, located in system/modules/mvse/views/VIEW_ID_SCHED_TEAM.

The default value is descWidth=20, summaryWidth=5, contentWidth=14, borderWidth=0.16, header1Height=2, header2Height=3, coverageHeight=2.7, contentHeight=5.6.

For more information about configuring Scheduled Team view cell dimensions, see Static Column/Header Configuration.

Printing PDFs

To support the printing of PDFs on the MVS Scheduled Team view:

  • Added the changes detailed above
  • Floating shifts (shifts where employees are assigned to a team other than their home teams) now display using cells containing only the text "Scheduled" (not job names)
  • Fixed HTML to PDF color conversion to include silver
  • Enabled job name and time code to be localized
