The Self Scheduling Access card is used to set up the time frame that the employees assigned to this labor distribution have access to self scheduling. The selection style for self scheduling is also selected, which determines the rules that are validated when the employee enters a schedule through the self-scheduling screen.
Self Scheduling Groups can also be set up on this screen. This feature allows staggering of access to self scheduling, so that certain groups have a specific time frame withing the self-scheduling access period when they can self schedule. For example, Group 1 can schedule the first week, Group 2 can schedule the second week, and Group 3 can schedule the third week. The groups can be set to rotate, so that each group has a turn to be first to schedule.
Note: Employees can subscribe to notifications that alert them when the self-scheduling time frame is open to them. For more information, see the Preferences section>My Preferences card>Event Subscriptions>Self Scheduling card.
Steps for Setting up the Self Scheduling Access Card
To set up the Self Scheduling for this staffing configuration, complete the following steps:
For example, if the coverage period is eight hours in length and this value is set to '1', there can be eight additional hours of employee staffing scheduled into the coverage period. This value can be used if the activity code an employee is trying to schedule overlaps another coverage period that does not have any needs.
