This task requires some advanced knowledge of
the application; for example, how to create shifts, shift masks,
shift times, use days of week buttons, assign shifts to positions,
and give people assignments.
| Important |
| This method is not applicable when distinct
administrative shift identifiers are required to feed a third party system. |
Read the following task from start to finish
before you begin:
- Create administrative base shifts for every lunch
break variation. Ex: ADM No Lunch Deduction, ADM Lunch 1hr, ADM
Lunch 30m.
- Configure each base shift pattern to run
Sunday through Saturday and designate a start time and duration.
For example, 07:00,10.
- Enter a lunch break value in each of the administrative
base shifts. For example: Setup > Shift > Subtract Break > type 0.5 to
apply a lunch time of 30 minutes.
- Merge the administrative base shifts that contain
the lunch break to the shift with no lunch break. For example in
the Shift ADM Lunch 1hr, go to the Roster Merge menu box and select
ADM No Lunch Deduction. Do the same for ADM Lunch 30m, go to the
Roster Merge menu box and select ADM No Lunch Deduction.
Use shifts, shift times, and shift masks or days of
the week buttons as building blocks and attach them to nonessential
positions in the Organizational Structure or the Person Assignment
tab.
- In the Organizational structure, go to nonessential positions
and assign the corresponding shift, shift time, ‘shift mask or use
days of week buttons’ and check the Assignment column.
To give a person an administrative assignment:
- Go to the person’s Assignment tab, select the corresponding
shift and area. When you select the Position, the schedule automatically
populates for that Position. Shift times are grayed out by design
because they are attached to the position.
Nonessential personnel display on the Roster without
creating unnecessary and repetitive levels.
