Displaying WBT_DESC in scheduling screens

You can display team descriptions (WBT_DESC) instead of team names (WBT_NAME) in scheduling screens by using either a registry parameter or a configuration key, depending on the screen type.

For most scheduling screens, use the registry parameter DISPLAY_TEAM_BY_NAME. Setting this parameter to False displays team descriptions instead of team names.

These scheduling screens use the registry parameter:
  • ASV
  • Relief Queue
  • Relief Calling Area
  • Employee Call Pop-up
  • Schedule Templates
  • Shift Configuration
  • Self-Scheduling in ETM

For Master Rotation, One-time Schedule, Manage Schedule, and Central Staffing screens, use the configuration key DISPLAY_TEAM_BY_NAME. Similar to the registry, setting this key to false displays team descriptions instead of team names, while setting it to both displays both the team name and the team description.

Note: 
  • The registry setting applies only to non-configurable fields; configurable fields require separate adjustment to display team descriptions.
  • Non-MVS screens are not affected.
  • Only Master Rotation, One-time Schedule, Manage Schedule, and Central Staffing use the configuration key, whereas all other scheduling screens rely on the registry parameter.
