Sending relief shifts to the billboard

You can send shifts in the Relief Queue to the billboard, allowing employees to either claim them directly or place bids.

  1. Select Scheduling > Multi-view Scheduler > Relief Management > Relief Queue.
  2. Select the shifts to work with.
  3. Select one or more shifts to send to the billboard.
  4. Click Send to Billboard.
  5. In the Claim Type section, select Immediate Claim to claim shifts immediately or select Bidding Process to submit shift bids.
  6. If you select Bidding Process, specify this information:
    Review Window Preference
    Select Manual Selection or Shift Start Time to identify how to handle window timing.
    Bidding Window End
    Specify the end date and time for the bidding window.

    This field is required if you select Shift Start Time in Review Window Preference.

    Note: For shift blocks, selecting Shift Start Time uses the datetime of the earliest starting shift.
    Review Window End

    Specify the end date and time for the review window to trigger the validation.

    This field is required if you select Manual Selection in Review Window Preference. If you select Shift Start Time, these fields are disabled, and no validation is applied for the review window end date and time.
    Note: For shift blocks, the start date and time of the earliest shift in the block is used as the review window end.
  7. In the Employee Criteria section, specify one or more billboard groups in the Send to Billboard(s) where the shifts are posted.
  8. Optionally, add comments to provide additional details about the shift.
  9. Click Send to Billboard to make the shifts available for claiming or bidding.
Note: The Review Window Preference field is hidden by default and set to Manual Selection. To enable and modify this setting, access the configuration mode and adjust the default preference.
