          Scheduling Rule Types

          Scheduling Rule Types

          Scheduling rules help match service resources to shifts. When the scheduling logic looks for service resources to assign to shifts, it checks your rules.

          Scheduling Rule Type Description
          Availability

          Checks if the service resource is available to be assigned to a shift. The Availability rule checks for the following conditions:

          • The shift doesn’t overlap with an existing shift.
          • No resource absence is scheduled.
          • The operating hours on the primary territory align with the shift duration.
          Limit Non-Standard Shifts Checks if the service resource has reached the monthly limit for non-standard shifts. Specify the limit in a scheduling constraint on each service resource or service territory.
          Match Skills Checks if the service resource has the appropriate skills to be assigned to the shift. Skill levels aren’t considered.
          Match Queues Checks if the service resource is a member of the appropriate queue to be assigned to the shift.
          Match Territory Required: Checks if the service resource belongs to the shift’s territory.
          Work Limit Checks if the service resource can handle the work unit maximum. You decide if the work unit max is measured in hours or shifts; choose a specific scheduling constraint to define the type of work required; and decide if the max is per day, week, or month. You can create custom scheduling constraints.
