Shift generation in Auto Assignment

In previous releases, Auto Assignment used existing unassigned shifts as input to the assignment process. This enhancement now enables users to select shift templates when setting up Auto Assignment, and automates the generation of shifts as part of the assignment process.

In addition, this enhancement also includes the addition of new attributes to Shift Templates. Users can now define regular shift templates, and templates that are used with the Shift Replacement rule. Users can now specify if shifts remaining unassigned from Auto Assignment should be automatically removed as part of the assignment process. This enhancement streamlines the maintenance involved in balancing and making schedules ready for go-live.
