Shift or shift pattern assignments

After closing the bid at the end of the bid window, you can direct the system to assign shifts or shift patterns based on the bidding results. If you attempt to assign shift patterns before the bidding is closed, you will be notified that the action cannot be performed until after the bidding has closed.

Closing a bid and assigning shifts or shift patterns does not require all employees to have finished bidding. Employees that have not submitted bids will require you to assign remaining shifts or shift patterns to them manually. For information about manually assigning shifts and shift patterns, see Editing bid assignments after a preview.

After you assign shifts or shift patterns, you cannot modify these assignments through the Schedule Bidding module. Any changes must be administered through employee edits, schedule management, or timesheet overrides.
