Row sorting, row names, and row ranks

Each Master Rotation (MR) and One-time Schedule (OTS) has a default sort order. The default sort order determines the order of rows whenever the rotation is opened. A default sort order is selected when creating a rotation for a team or individual employees. When creating a rotation using these options, rows can be sorted by employee names or employee IDs in ascending or descending order. When creating a rotation using the number of jobs option, the default sort order uses the row rank, which is determined by the order of the jobs selected when creating the rotation.

Each row in an MR or OTS has a row name and a row rank. Row names are a text description that is used to identify a row. Row names can be changed as required. Row ranks are assigned to each row based on its position when the rotation is created. When an MR or OTS is created, the rows are numbered and have the same row name and row rank. When rows are added to an existing rotation, they are given row ranks immediately before or after the row that was selected when creating the rows.

Rows can be sorted temporarily by a primary and secondary criteria when editing an MR, OTS, or OTS template. Temporary sort orders can be used to change the row order during editing and are not saved when the rotation is closed. These options can be used as criteria for temporary sorting:
  • Job
  • Row Name
  • Row Rank
  • Employee Name
    Note: The Employee Name sort criteria is not available in Template editing mode.
