Identify Station Post Requirements (DTSR)#

Event Scheduling Overview#

Event Sites#

Event Sites are part of Event Scheduling. Event Sites can be defined using the ITES screen

An Event Site represents a set of Station Post Requirements for a period of time in a given Work Division ITWD, Work Area ITWA or Work Station ITWS
Event Scheduling should be used when
- There is not a repeating Schedule in the long run
- Station Post Requirements are constantly changing for a given schedule
Event Site Status can be used to freeze the Station Post Requirements. A frozen Event Site will not allow
- Station Post Requirements to be changed
- Scheduled Shifts Worker Assignments to be changed

Station Post Requirements#

Record Station Post Requirement for a given Station Post in a Shift on a specific Date
For each Station Post Requirement a Scheduled Shift will be created. Decreasing the Station Post Requirement will cause Scheduled Shifts to be removed unless they have all been filled with Workers
Event Scheduling Work Stations do not need Work Teams to be defined
Event Scheduling Station Posts should not need to have Team Posts associated to them
Cannot be created for dates outside of the Event Site Start/End Dates
Has derived fields that let the user know the number of fillled Scheduled Shifts as well as the number of Vacant Scheduled Shifts

DTSR Screen - Identify Station Post Requirements#

DTSR Tables#

DTSR Fields Defined#

Calendar#

Dynamic Calendars are used in the DTSH form to allow companies to specify the start of the work week.
In the Preference tab of IMST, clients must add 1ST_DAY_OF_WEEK preference with a value of 1 thru 7 where 1 represents Sunday and 7 represents Saturday.
The clock entry information below the calendar is derived based on the date in focus on the calendar.

Shift: The shift code that is associated with the Station Post Requirement is entered here

Shift Letter: The shift letter is an optional code that can be used as a descriptor on a shift, e.g. D for Day or N for Night. This field is read only on DTSR.

Station: The station is the work station that this station post requirement is associated with.

Blank Column: The station post is the job within the work station that is required.

Required: This is the number of vacancies that will be created for the station post requirement. This number is filled in by the user and will define how many vacancies will be created on the [complement tab].

Filled

Vacant

Copy Button: This button will open the Copy Station Requirements dialog MTCSR that will allow the user to create a copy of the Station Requirements within the current or other Event Site. You will also be able to choose whether or not to Carry Over Workers to the new Station Requirement.

Record Shift End Time Button: This button will open the Record Shift End Time dialog MTSRET which will allow the user easily override the Shift End Time. When a Shift is selected for an Event it may not have the exact Start/End time combination that is required, however, it is not practical to create a new Shift in ITSS every time an Station Post Requirement is needed for an Event. This button/dialog makes it easy to select any Shift with an appropriate Start Time and then adjust the End Time as needed.
