Using Auto-Assignment with existing unassigned shifts

This procedure uses unassigned shifts for the Auto-Assignment process. These shifts may be generated before the Auto-Assignment process is run, or the shifts can be unassigned due to employees calling in sick or other reasons.
  1. In ASV, open the unit you want to schedule for the date range that contains the unassigned shifts that you want to automatically assign.
  2. Click the Auto-Assignment button.
  3. Select Use existing unassigned shifts to assign the unassigned shifts using Auto-Assignment.
  4. Optionally, select Include unassigned rotation shifts to include unassigned shifts that were created by Master Rotations or One-time Schedules in the Auto-Assignment process.
  5. Select the Auto-Assignment groups to include in the Auto-Assignment process in the Groups field and click Add.
  6. If you have selected more than one Auto-Assignment group, click and drag the groups to set the Priority order. The group with the Priority value of 1 selects employees first based on the group's employee filters, followed by other groups in ascending order.
  7. Click Go to start the Auto-Assignment process, and click OK to confirm.
    The system locks all the unassigned shifts and locks the schedule during the schedule period for employees included in the Auto-Assignment group filters. Lock icons are displayed on the shifts included in the Auto-Assignment process in the ASV window.
The Auto-Assignment feature sends you a workmail notification when the Auto-Assignment process is complete. The system unlocks the locked shifts and employee schedules.
