Understanding Log If Accumulated Total...

The log if accumulated total... field is used to total and limit the number of opportunity hours that can be recorded in a bucket.

Log only if accumulated total... is used as an incentive system to encourage employees to take the shorter working opportunities until they reach x amount of opportunity hours.

For example, an organization records hours when 12 hours have been reached. If Employee 1 accepts 14 hours of work he immediately moves down the list. Next in line, Employee 2 accepts 2 hours of work and remains at the top of the list until he accepts an opportunity that gives him a total of 12 or more hours of work.

Name Opportunity 1 Opportunity 2 Opportunity 3 Opportunity 4
Employee 2 2 Hrs 4 Hrs 4 Hrs 10 Hrs
Employee 3 -- -- -- --
Employee 1 14 Hrs      
Employee 2 -- -- -- 20 Hrs
