Log Partial Count if... is used to convert and record a set of hours worked into counts.
Log partial count if...is used by organizations that balance opportunity counts and hours worked to equitably distribute working opportunities.
For example, if a work opportunity runs for 6 hours only 0.25 hours are logged for each occurrence. So 12 hours logs at 0.5, 18 hours logs at 0.75, and 24 hours logs at 1.0. If Employee 1 accepts a 12 hour shift, he moves down the list with 0.5 hours logged. Next in line, Employee 2 accepts a 6 hour shift. Employee 2 moves down the list and ahead of Employee 1 because Employee 2 logged less hours than Employee 1.
The example above is entered as follows:
Log partial count if < 6.01,0.25;12.01,0.50;18.01,0.75;24,1.0
Separating each partial count with a semicolon creates partials.
The table below illustrates the example above.
| Name | Opportunity |
|---|---|
| Employee 3 | -- |
| Employee 2 | 0.25 |
| Employee 1 | 0.50 |
Rules control ascending or descending sort order.
