This task requires advanced knowledge of shift
configurations, for instance how to create shifts, shift masks,
shift times, use days of week buttons, assign shifts to positions, and
give people assignments and so on.
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 as not all steps may be applicable to your configuration:
- Create administrative base shifts for every lunch
break variation. Ex: ADM No Lunch Deduction, ADM Lunch 1hr, ADM
Lunch 30m.
- Have each base shift run Sunday through
Saturday and designate a start time and duration. Ex. 07:00,10
- Skip this step if you don’t have varying lunch breaks.
Otherwise, enter a lunch break value in each of the administrative
base shifts. For example: Setup > Shift > Subtract Break of 0.5 to
apply a lunch time of 30 minutes.
- Skip this step if you don’t have varying lunch breaks.
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.
