Shifts

The configuration of shifts that you are planning to use with Auto-Assignment should take into consideration the client's scheduling needs and preferences. Certain shift configuration options can be used to create better schedule results that require less manual adjustments before publishing the schedule.

When determining how to schedule a particular shift, Auto-Assignment can consider aspects of the shift's configuration. Multiple Auto-Assignment rules can be configured to only apply to shifts with specific shift types. For example, a rule could be created to limit employees to maximum number of TRAINING shifts per week. Certain shift properties can be added to a shift to give the shifts a higher or lower priority, compared to other shifts, when Auto-Assignment creates the schedule.
