- Bidding Window End
-
Specify the end date and time for the bidding window.
This field is required if you select Manual Selection or Review Window Ends at Shift Start in Window Calculation Method.
Note: For shift blocks, selecting Manual Selection or Review Window Ends at Shift Start 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 Window Calculation Method. If you select Review Window Ends at Shift Start or Time Before Shift Starts, 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. - Bidding Closes Before Shift (Hours)
-
Specify the number of hours before a shift's start time when bidding for that shift will automatically close. This value is applied individually for each shift. The bidding end is calculated dynamically based on each shift's start time instead of a single static date and time. The default value is 48 hours. The minimum value supported it 0.05 hours or three-minutes. You can specify 0.05 hour increments.
If the calculated close time has already passed, an error message is displayed. Instead, select Manual Selection and specify a valid date and time to continue.
This field is required if you select Time Before Shift Starts in Window Calculation Method.
Note: For shift blocks, the bidding close time is calculated from the start time of the first shift in the block. - Review Closes Before Shift (Hours)
-
Specify the number of hours before each shift's start time when the review window should automatically close. The review window is the period after bidding ends during which managers approve or assign shifts. This value is applied to each shift individually, so the review end is calculated from each shift's own start time. The default value is 24 hours. The minimum value supported it 0.05 hours or three-minutes. You can specify 0.05 hour increments.
The Review Closes Before Shift (Hours) must have a lower value than Bidding Closes Before Shift (Hours). Since review occurs after the bidding closes, the review offset should have a smaller number than the bidding offset. For example, if bidding closes 48 hours before the shift, the review must close less than 48 hours before the bidding closes, such as 24 hours.
If the calculated close time has already passed, an error message is displayed. Instead, select Manual Selection and specify a valid date and time to continue.
This field is required if you select Time Before Shift Starts in Window Calculation Method.
Note: For shift blocks, the review close time is calculated from the start time of the first shift in the block.
