With the self scheduling feature, these styles determine the rules that are validated when an employee enters a schedule into the self scheduling screen, or attempts to trade a schedule, or to accept an offered schedule. Depending on the authorization role of the employees, they may be able to override the validation and continue to enter the schedule. More About Overriding Schedule Validations
Depending on Roles assigned to users, they may be able to override validation messages and continue to add, edit, or approve a schedule. If users do not have the authorization to override the exception, there is no option to continue and save the transaction.
Override access is determined by:
- The Maximum Severity Level override allowed by the user's role
- The Severity Level of the exception message
Maximum Severity Level Override Allowed by the User's Role
Depending on the role assigned to users, they may be able to override the exception message generated when a scheduling rule is violated by adding, editing, or approving a request for a schedule.
The roles are found in the Configuration section>System card>Roles screen.
In the Maximum Severity Level field, indicate the severity level of the validation exception that can be overridden. Severity levels (in order of severity) are Critical, Warning, and Informational. All exceptions with that severity level or below can be overridden for assigned users. For example, if this value is set to Warning, this user can override validation exceptions of Warning and Informational, but cannot override exceptions with a severity level of Critical. If no value is entered in this field, the user cannot override ANY level of exception message.
Severity Level of the Exception
Severity levels for a validation rule are set up on the Configuration section>System card>Exception Value screen, in the Severity Level field. Severity levels (in order of severity) are Critical, Warning, Informational, or None.
Note: The severity level displayed in the warning message may not match the value set up on this screen. If the user is able to override the error, then the level is displayed as Warning regardless of the actual exception definition severity level. If the user is not able to override the error then the level is displayed as Critical regardless of the exception definition.
Note: A selection style that was previously created can also be assigned to any of the Selection Style fields for self scheduling. The eligible selection styles must be configured with a Type selected of Edit Validation.
