Manually Assigning an Employee to Part of an Unstaffed Shift

  1. Follow Steps 1 - 4 of "Manual Assignments" on page 115.
  2. Do one of the following to assign the selected employee to part of the unstaffed shift:

    • Click Apply to assign the selected employee to the specified part of the selected unstaffed shift. This creates a new unstaffed shift of the specified duration and assigns the selected employee to it and creates new unstaffed shifts, as needed, for the remaining time in the original unstaffed shift.

      For example, if the shift was 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM and you changed it to a 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM shift, one new unstaffed shift is created with the duration of 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM. If you changed it to an 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM shift, two new unstaffed shifts are created with the durations 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

    • Click Save as New to create a copy of the part of the selected unstaffed shift you specified and then assign the selected employee to that copy, leaving the original unstaffed shift unstaffed.

      For example, if the shift was 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and you changed it to a 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM shift, the original shift would remain unchanged and a new unstaffed shift with the duration 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM would be created and the selected employee would be assigned to the new, smaller shift.
