Shifts

For each worker, we define which shifts, on which days of the week or holidays, they can have.

Anatoly, Andrea in Barbara lahko med tednom delajo turnuse, ki so v šifrantu turnusov. Prve tri vrstice izberejo turnuse in veščine:

06 - 14 Natanko: natančno in samo ta turnus in vse veščine ga lahko uporabijo

15 - 18 Preko: vsi turnusi, ki gredo v celoti preko te periode, dovoljene so pa doktorjem in sestram

22 - 23 Vsebuje: vsi turnusi, ki kakorkoli pridejo v periodo, imajo pa jih samo sestre

Things to note:

• • Each employee included into the schedule, must appear at least once in the above section, under the "employee" column.

  • Each worker must have set, the days on which they work.

  • Each worker must have set, for each of his workdays, the shifts which he works.

In the employee column, each employee should only appear once.

Column/branch headed by the word "How". The following is the meaning of the options that you can choose from in the drop-down menu of this final decision, that the form will ask you to fill.

• • OUT black and orange on the image below - The period designated in the FROM - TO field, is filled entirely by the shift, whereas the shift, need not necessarily begin and/or end inside of the time period in the FROM - TO field.

  • IN green and orange on the image below - In this case, the shift must be entirely contained inside the FROM - TO period (The shift must begin and/or end, either inside or simultaneously as the period).

  • EXACTLY orange in the image below - The shift and the period, must both be of common duration.

Let us also remember, however, what we said in the LINK section of this manual. We established that all time-spans exclude the upper boundary. Therefore, both time ranges in the example given (the designated period and the corresponding shift), exclude the time 14:00. Thus, the 8 - 14 shift in fact falls into all the following categories simultaneously: the OUT, the IN and the EXACTLY.

The final column/branch is headed by the word "How" (after 1.2.2017):

• • OVER

    • black and orange - the shift occupies the entirety of the period declared in the FROM-TO fields.

  • INSIDE

    • green and orange - the shift must either be of the same time-span as the FROM-TO, or must at leas be entirely contained in the FROM-TO.

  • EXACTLY

    • orange - the shif and the FROM-TO must overlap each-other exactly.

  • CONTAIN

  • vse barve, razen rjave - turnusi, ki kakorkoli segajo v obdobje OD - DO

    • is descriptive of all the examples above, except for the one in brown - this category includes all the shifts, that reach into the FROM-TO.

Keep in mind, again, that the period in the TO field does not contain the minimal-time-interval that starts at 14:00 - the minute/quarter-hour/half-hour/hour... that begins at the time signature 14:00, belongs not to the shift, but already to whatever follows that shift (In other words, 14:00 is the moment the 8 - 14 shift ends, and the next one begins). It is evident thereby, that the 8 - 14 shift, in this case, fits into all of the - OVER, INSIDE, EXACTLY and CONTAIN- conditions.
