Auto-Assignments

The Auto-Assign feature automatically fills as many unstaffed shifts as possible with the most qualified and skilled employees who are unassigned and deemed eligible by the staffing requirements. Auto-assignment is also performed in order of team priority and then job priority, as defined in the staffing requirements. (For information about staffing requirements and priority, see Staffing Requirements and Census.)

Notes

You can configure the following Auto-Assign functionality behavior using parameters:

  • Whether or not the system highlights any unstaffed shifts it was unable to staff during an Auto-Assign operation (AUTO_ASSIGN_HIGHLIGHT_SEL_SHIFTS)
  • Whether or not the system displays a Summary panel on completion of an Auto-Assign operation to show how many shifts were staffed fully, how many shifts Auto-Assign tried to fill, and the number of shifts the system was unable to staff (AUTO_ASSIGN_DISPLAY_SUMMARY)
  • Indicates whether or not the pool of employees to be used for auto-assignment includes all of the selected team(s) sub-teams (including all ot the sub-teams’ sub-teams). (USE_CHILD_TEAMS_EMPLOYEES)
