Deploy an Event (Special Deploy)

The Deploy panel displays additional options that enable based on your system configuration. Selecting a certain unit may display options not found when selecting another unit. For example some units may have a set number of predefined positions and other units may allow you to define position requirements as needed.

Extra Units are also utilized to Deploy an Event. Extra Units are found in the Special Deploy menu.

To deploy an Event Unit on the Roster:

Click a Unit.
Click Deploy.
Set the date and shift times in Details.
Select an Extra Unit in the Special Deploy menu box.
Select a Unit to deploy the Special Event under. The application automatically populates the Event Type menu if the Extra Unit selected contains an Event Type in Setup.
Position options for the selected Unit enable. Either:
- Select the preset positions if the Unit contains predefined positions.
- Click Add to define your position and specialty requirements.
Either click Save to confirm your settings and close the page, or click Deploy Another to retain the page open and deploy another unit.

The configuration of the organizational structure and the unit’s assigned shift determines where the unit and positions display on the Roster. For this reason you may find that the deployed unit sometimes displays at the top, bottom, or some where in between the Roster. Additionally, if the event type was configured with Calendar vacancy flags turned on, then vacancy flags display on the user’s personal calendar and the dashboard.
