Auto-Assignment and existing employee schedules

Auto-Assignment assigns shifts around employee's existing schedules. Except when using the Replace Shift Type rule, Auto-Assignment does not remove existing shifts during the schedule period or change employee assignments.

Auto-Assignment evaluates the existing schedule when determining how to assign shifts. Existing assigned shifts are counted when considering how a particular scheduling solution follows the Auto-Assignment rules. For example, if a rule exists that all employees must be assigned at least five shifts per week, an employee that is already assigned to three shifts in a week only needs to be assigned two additional shifts by Auto-Assignment to satisfy the rule.
