Coming soon Work Plan Bid Schedule Bid Enhancements
Due for release in June are the latest enhancements to our Schedule Bidding features. These are the functional and UI changes you can expect to see in the coming release:
Rebanding of Work Plan Bids
From this release forward, we are renaming Work Plan Bids to Schedule Bids. Schedule Bids will become the umbrella term that covers 2 different Employee bid flows Work Plans and Schedule Sets.
- Work Plan bids will continue to offer employees the chance to bid on their preferred Work Plan, general scheduling constraints.
- *New* Schedule Set bids will offer employees the chance to bid on full Schedules from 1-6 weeks in length. Each Schedule set will become a custom rotation with known work days and shift start, end, break and meal times.
Enhanced Work Plan and Suggested Shift Details View
Building on the success of Team Schedules, we have adopted the updated shift visualisations, helping Admins and Employees to more easily see and understand the shifts on offer for the bid.
Addition of Work Plan Rotations
When creating a Bid Group, you will now have the option to select Work Plans or Work Plan Rotations as the basis for generating the shifts within the Schedule Sets.
When selecting Work Plan Rotations, the Admin can define how many employees should work each rotation and the Schedule Bid Staffing Calculations will work out where employees should start the rotation and which shifts to use from the Rotation's Work Plans to create the optimal schedule based on the forecast selected.
Side by Side Override Comparisons
Admins can now view the allocated Work Plan or Schedule Set details alongside the selected override options so that they can compare the shifts, scheduled activities, and different weeks.
