The Out of Assignment feature displays non-working exception type records on the person’s calendar that conflict with a new shift assignment.
A person’s shift assignment, and work codes may become out of sync for various reasons, the most common scenario occurs when an employee has scheduled leave in the future, then their shift assignment definition changes, and the exceptions approved then no longer match the new shift assignment definition. Simply put, the exceptions that no longer match the person’s shift assignment must either be moved to the new assignment day or removed because the exception is no longer applicable to the new shift.
This application checks for future exceptions when adding a new shift assignment and identifies any work code conflicts crossing the new assignment.1 A new icon alert will appear on the personal Calendar, and the Advanced calendar where you can edit the record when a conflict exist.
The Out of Assignment icon looks like a yellow and black vertical band that overlays the work code in conflict as shown in the image below:
The Out of Assignment icon appears automatically on the personal Calendarwhen a shift assignment conflict exists.
On the Advanced calendar, however, this feature must be manually activated by selecting the check box Non-Working Out of Assignment in the More Options menu located in Limit Display.
