About the Self Schedule Screen

The existing functionality does not change. However, beginning in version 09.00.02, Core Staffing can be done by activity code. The needs that are established on the Core Staffing Template can appear on the Self Schedule and Schedule screens broken down by activity code. This allows scheduling to be done by activity, rather than by coverage period.

It also eliminates the decimal values that can occur when a shift covers only part of a coverage period. For example, the outlined cells in the previous image show that the employee's shift covers (partly or fully) three coverage periods. Even though this is correct, it can cause confusion.

The following image shows the same scenario for an organization unit set up for Core Staffing by Activity Code (see Set the Organization Unit Indicator). The outlined cell indicates that one activity code (1000-8) is scheduled and two of those activities remain for someone to self schedule. The ToolTip also provides staffing details.

A negative value indicates understaffing.

A zero indicates full staffing.

A positive number, as shown in the following image (with the ToolTip), indicates overstaffing.

You also set an indicator that determines whether activity codes appear all the time or only when there is a need for that activity code. For information, see Set the Activity Code Indicators.
