Multi-Day Schedule Technical Knowledge

The Multi-Day Schedule by default includes all working and regular duty type records and will automatically contribute to Totals and Headcounts. The default behavior can be optionally redefined in Setup > Organizations to allow each institution to define their own work code limits and contributions. Both Setup: Organization and Multi-Day View: Manage authority are required to define work code contributions for an Institution.

Application Behavior: Managing exceptions and scheduling people between shifts and across working areas in order to level personnel for the day, the week, or by area is simplified on the Multi-Day Schedule view by using a horizontal weekly grid page layout. The difference between the Multi-Day view and the Roster is how the application calls for data (pulls information); in addition to the calculation requirements to build the Roster view. The Roster is position based; this means that upon build, the Roster evaluates positions and connected feature within this application when returning assignment data and staffing records for a single day; such as, Conditions, Vacancies, Roster Counts, Vacancy Strategies, Shifts and so on. Depending on the application’s configuration the process to build multiple days could be extensive. The Multi-Day view has a smoother draw time because the target information is person-centric, the application pulls information from the person’s assignment tab and the staffing records (work codes), hence less data processing and number crunching.

Display of Person Specialties, Skills, and Certifications

In application version 7.5 person assigned specialties were enhanced to display on the active date of the specialty and withdraw after the expiration date, if any. The term specialties as used here encompasses legacy specialties, skills, and certifications. On the Multi-Day view the person’s specialty displays if the specialty is active on the first day of the week. This means if the specialty’s start date activates on a Friday, and the start of the week of the Multi-Day starts on a Sunday, then the specialty does not display next to the person’s name for this week. However, suppose the start of the week is set to Friday, then the specialty displays for this week.
