Batch scheduling task results

The batch scheduling task sends a Workmail notification to specified users when it finishes executing. The schedule result is listed in the Workmail for each location covered by the task.

Job scheduler logs for Auto-Assignment include:

  • The time taken to generate each schedule.
  • A list of fixed shifts assigned to each employee in each Auto-Assignment group.
  • Details for when schedule generation fails.
These schedule results can be returned in the Workmail:
Result Description
Schedule successfully generated for the following location(s): Schedule was successfully generated for the location.
Schedule generation skipped for the following location(s): Location was skipped because a schedule already exists during the schedule period.
Empty schedule generated for the following location(s): An empty schedule, with no shifts or assignments, was generated because there are no interval requirements for the location.
Schedule generation for the following location(s) failed: Schedule generation failed for the location because of a configuration issue or other issue. The job scheduler log can be checked for more details about why the schedule generation failed.

With release 2024.05 enhancements in the categorization of failure types and prioritization in display were implemented. First, timeout and conflicting failures are now categorized separately from other failure types. Moreover, failures categorized as timeouts and conflicts are displayed first in the batch task log, ensuring they are easily identifiable and not overlooked.
