Sample Shift Trade Work Code with an Overlap Threshold Configuration

  • Prior Work Code knowledge is required to set this task.

The overlap work code is set on the non-working code. The overlap code behavior follows the working half of the shift trade transaction. On the Roster, the overlap code shows next to the overlap threshold it is covering, as shown in the image below:

Sample Configuration for a One-Way Shift Trade work code using an Overlap Code:

  1. Go to Setup > Codes > Work Codes.

  3. REQUIRED: In Type, select Non-Working and in Properties select But Still Available.
  4. Click Add to create the working half of the shift trade work code. Enter a name, an abbreviation, and select a color. For example, Exchange Working (EW).
  5. In Type, select Working and keep the default Behavior settings as is. Additional or less settings may be required to produce the desired output.

    2. In Assignment Requirement, select the desired constraint; for example, Same Assigned Agency allows the working code to be placed on any person assigned to work in the same agency as the person entering the nonworking half of the work code, or select Anyone to trade with any qualified person regardless of where they’re assigned to work.
    3. Select the Required check box.
    4. In Overlap Threshold, enter the number of minutes the shifts associated with the Exchange Working and Exchange Off codes can overlap.
    5. In Overlap Work Code, select the applicable work code to Add when an overlapping time-period exists during the overlap threshold provided. This is the overlap code created at the beginning of this task. For example, Overlap work code.
