Billboard groups

Billboard groups control which teams' shifts can be posted to the billboard, who can post shifts, and who can claim posted shifts. Each billboard group has a separate billboard that can only be accessed by the specified teams or individual employees. At least one billboard group must be created before you can use the Shift Billboard.

Billboard groups are created in the Billboard Group maintenance form. Teams are specified in the Billboard Shift Team sub-form to allow shifts belonging to the teams to be posted. Each team can allow manager posting, employee posting, or both. An effective date range can be specified for a team to allow that team to post shifts to the billboard for a limited period of time.

The Billboard Group Team sub-form determines which teams can claim shifts posted to the billboard. The Billboard Group Employee sub-form can be used to specify individual employees that may also claim posted shifts. An effective date range can be specified for an employee to give them temporary access to billboard shifts.
