Collect availability for different periods in the day, ie, evenings
QUESTION:We need to roster for evening turns, but often people are available for the daytime but not evening or vice versa on any given day.
Is there would be any way of adding evening turns into the availability forms and roster separately to the day turns?
ANSWER:
Yes it is possible.
When specifying a turn, either in the template or in the roster, if you change the 'Period' field it will separate it out on the availability.
Ie, if you have three turns:
Hours: 0900-1700, Period: Days
Hours: 1000-1600, Period: Days
Hours: 1200-1700, Period: Days
Then the availability will only be polled on 'Days'.
OR....
Ie, if you have three turns:
Hours: 0900-1700, Period: Days
Hours: 1000-1600, Period: Days
Hours: 1600-2000, Period: Evening
Then the availability will be polled separately for 'Days' and 'Evening'.
You can have as many distinct options as you like, ie 'Early Morning', 'Middle Shift', 'Afternoon', 'Evening', etc.
