Two Ways to Create a New Schedule Once you have entered your first schedule, it is easy to create new schedules using the Import function. Import any previous week "as is" by choosing a date or Import a saved template by choosing a template name. You can Import, clearing the work assignments (and then use AutoFill to get the best assignments for the new week based on employee work time preferences), or you can Import and leave the assignments the same.
WORK TIME PREFERENCES are used for automatically assigning based on when employees are available and prefer to work:
OR if you prefer to create your schedules BASED ON KEEPING THE SAME ASSIGNMENTS EACH WEEK you can do the following instead:
Note that for AutoFill to work properly, you will need to review the AutoFill Maximums on the Employee List Grid and make any necessary changes in their max hours/shifts per day/week. The default is set to 40 hours and you will want to be sure your shift paid hours (durations) are correct and reflect any unpaid break times. The ANALYZE function can be used on current or future weeks to check how the shift assignments compare to the current work time preferences, so you can use the second approach above of keeping the assignments intact and then use Analyze to check for any conflicts. move the unassigned shifts I have already built into a week schedule pretty much stays the same each week and it would be nice to have it autogenerate. work time preferences, same assignments, keep assignments, same schedule
