Shift pattern assignment

The shift pattern assignment task, which is added to the Job Scheduler, processes the recommended shift pattern assignments at the end of every bid window.

In this procedure, you define the shift pattern assignment task and its corresponding Java package. The task is then available through the Task Type drop-down list in the Job Scheduler. When the task is run, the task processes the shift patterns for employees that have already bid in their elapsed bid windows.

Remember that this shift pattern assignment is temporary and can be overridden by the bid administrator. For information, see Editing bid assignments after a preview. Shift pattern assignments are final only after the bid administrator assigns the bid shift patterns. For information, see Assigning bid shift or shift patterns to employees.
