Additional hour columns supported in Monthly tab
Additional hour columns can be displayed in the Monthly tab in the LFSO Schedule screen. You can enable a column for the Monthly tab by selecting the Monthly Active check box in the Schedule Columns Definition maintenance form.
See "Additional hour columns" in the Infor Workforce Management LFSO Implementation and Administration Guide.
Auto-Assignment Employee Preferred Job Sort Order
The Employee Preferred
Job Sort Order prioritizes assigning employees to shifts that match their
preferred job. Preference is given to employees that have the job required to perform the
shift designated as the preferred job in their employee profile. Employees without the
preferred job qualification may still be assigned to shifts when no employees with the
preferred job qualification are available or to satisfy other scheduling rules.
See "Employee Preferred Job Sort Order" in the Infor Workforce Management Auto-Assignment Implementation Guide.
Auto-Assignment Schedule Profiles support cross-location scheduling
Schedule profiles for Auto-Assignment have been updated to support cross-location scheduling. Users can associate one or more teams to the schedule profile in the Team(s) section. When the schedule profile is used, it generates schedules for the store locations corresponding with the selected teams.
See "Generating LFSO schedules using a batch job" in the Infor Workforce Management Auto-Assignment Implementation Guide.
Auto-Assignment support for automatically adjusting breaks for manual shift edits
Breaks can now be automatically updated in the LFSO Schedule screen in manually edited shifts based on break rules set in Auto-Assignment groups.
See "Break rules and manual shift edits" in the Infor Workforce Management LFSO Implementation and Administration Guide.
Download reports from Forecasting screen
Forecast reports can be downloaded in Excel format from the Forecasting screen. Forecast reports provide a summary of the daily forecast vs actual results for last year and the forecast period. Daily forecasts are scored for accuracy. A breakdown is given for each driver that lists the forecast numbers for each interval compared with the actual results.
See "Forecast reports" in the Infor Workforce Management LFSO Implementation and Administration Guide.
New machine learning forecasting model
Machine learning forecasting has an updated model that is focused on increasing the accuracy of both daily and per-interval volume forecasts. The new model generates distributions for drivers that are configured for machine learning. This improves the allocation of daily forecast totals among each forecast interval for each day of the week.
The Batch Forecast Training task now provides more flexibility for the date range of the historical results data used for training. Training data can be selected as a specified date range or as a number of years before the current date or a specified date.
See these topics in the Infor Workforce Management LFSO Implementation and Administration Guide:
- Machine learning distributions
- Scheduling the Batch Forecast Training task
Pre-populating Auto-Assignment groups during schedule regeneration
