Suggest assignments

Suggest assignments writes draft shifts only. Nothing is published, and staff are not notified. Publishing later does not create pay.

1. Open Assign shifts.
2. Choose Suggest assignments.
3. Set From and Through. Leave Also fill unclaimed open shifts as you need it. Leave Allow hours over the weekly cap off unless you mean to allow those hours. The note says pay is not estimated.
4. Choose Suggest assignments in the dialog.
5. Review each row. Choose Skip to leave a row out, or change Person when another name is offered.
6. Choose Add 3 to draft. The number is how many rows you kept.

What you should see

The dialog says nothing is published, and staff are not notified. Coverage shows what was needed, what was already scheduled, what this suggestion adds, and what is still open.

After you add the rows, the grid shows the new draft shifts. Undo this suggestion removes that add. Staff still do not see the month until you publish it.

If something looks wrong

The dialog says to set coverage targets, and the schedule was not changed. Choose Set coverage targets, choose Save, then suggest again.

Add 0 to draft stays unavailable when nothing new was proposed. Choose Suggest again to try another set. If the suggestion stopped early, narrow From and Through.
