Self-scheduling groups and group sets

A self-scheduling group is a collection of employees who can assign themselves to shifts during a common time frame. Employees must be associated with a group to access self-scheduling. Individual employees or entire teams are assigned to self-scheduling groups by the administrator.

If a group is applied to individual employees, you can determine the effective start and end date that the employee is affiliated with the group. A process can include multiple groups if there is a need to stagger self-scheduling access, such as seniority reasons. Groups can also include employees from multiple teams.

A self-scheduling group set is an optional feature best suited for an organization that includes multiple groups in their processes. This feature is a tool that you can use to speed-up process creation. Instead of individually associating each group with the process, which could be time-consuming, you can simply add the group set once. This process can be pre-configured to include the various groups.
