Floating employees to another shift

By floating shifts, you can easily move employees from one shift to another. Employees can be moved from an unit with surplus staff coverage to a unit with staffing needs.

As of version 2024.04, employees can be assigned to float to any team regardless of their security for that team. This feature is available to both Central Staffing and Advanced Schedule View.

To enable this option, the SKIP_EMPLOYEE_TEAM_VALIDATION registry parameter must be changed from the default to True and Field Parameters on the Field UI Configuration mode must be updated. When the user tries to float to a unit where they do not have access to, the float becomes successful and there is no hard stop or soft stop validation that is displayed.

If the SKIP_EMPLOYEE_TEAM_VALIDATION registry parameter is set to False and the user tries to float to a unit where they do not have access to, the float becomes unsuccessful and these validation messages are displayed:

For single float: User has invalid team permission on shift(s): Day(MM/DD/YYYY)
For mass float: User has invalid team permission on shift(s): Day(MM/DD/YYYY), 7D8(MM/DD/YYYY)

See the information about SKIP_EMPLOYEE_TEAM_VALIDATION in the Infor Workforce Management Registry Parameter Reference Guide.
