Work Code Tiebreaker

Definition: Returns people with the target work code records for the time frame defined by the From and Through fields. This base rule is primarily used to determine who’s next in line for a working opportunity when all things could be equal across a combination of queried work codes and dates; simply put a tie breaking rule.

Return value: Values of type Number. Candidates returned are assigned an order number based on the returned date value. For more information see example at the bottom of this topic.

Source: Staffing Table (checked Roster records), the List Target area, the Special Day Group area, the Advanced tab of the Position area; the General tab of the Work Code area.

Sorting: If this base rule is used for sorting in a List Target or a List, then people with a Work Code Count = 0 return value are preferred (sorted to the top) over other candidates in an ascending sort; otherwise they are pushed to the bottom of the list in a descending sort. If no dynamic ‘Where’ condition is specified then people with empty values or values failing the condition sort at the top in an ascending sort. Records of equal sorting priority for all sorting rules are sorted in random order.
