Description
The label used to describe this selection style pass.
Holiday Pass
Determines whether this pass is for scheduling holidays only (Yes/No). When this value is set to Yes, the schedule process checks the date range being scheduled and determines if there is a Holiday present. If there is, only the holiday is scheduled; if there are no holidays, no schedules are created.
Holidays are set up on the Configuration section>Assignments card>Holiday screen.
Note: This pass can be used to populate needs-based schedules on holidays for organization units that ordinarily use core schedules.
Selection
The Selection Rule displays the type of process using this rule. The Selection Style Category chosen on the Type field determines the available Selection Rules.
The selection Rules available for the Auto Schedule Pass are as follows:
|
Populates the core schedules as set up in the Rotating Schedules screen of employees included in the labor distribution or schedule group being scheduled. These schedules are populated without regard to the staffing needs of the organization unit. |
|
Populates the schedule based on the staffing needs of the organization unit or schedule group. These needs are defined on the Core Staffing Template and are based on position codes and activity codes (e.g. need 5 LPN's to work the 07-1500 activity code) |
|
Populates the schedule based on the needs of the organization unit or schedule group. These needs are defined on the Staffing Template and are based on position codes and coverage periods (e.g. need 5 LPN's to work the Day coverage period). These values are displayed by clicking on the Open Staffing Plan section button when the schedule is open. |
Staffing Level
The percentage of staffing needs the schedule should be populated up to, during this need-based scheduling pass. Enter the whole/decimal number of the percent (for example, enter 80.5 for 80.5% population of needs).
With that setting, if the needs for a coverage period is 10 RN's, the system first populates 8 RN's every day, and then goes back and tries to populate 10 RN's on as many days as possible (without breaking overtime/approved hours rules). If this staffing level value is left at 100%, the days initially populated by the schedule may have 10 RN's, but the days populated later may only get 6.
