How to assign a person from the eligible pool

How to assign a person from the eligible pool#

For: Manager You’ll need: A shift and at least one person eligible for its position and location.

The ‘Person’ dropdown only lists people who are in the MLP (Minimum Legal Personnel) pool for the shift’s position and location — they’re at minimum permitted to work this kind of shift.

Pick the person#

  1. Open the assignment form (see How to open the assignment form).

  2. Open the ‘Person’ dropdown — it’s filtered to the MLP-eligible pool.

  3. Read the validation badges next to each name (see How to read the eligibility badges).

  4. Click the person you want.

  1. Open the shift, tap Edit, and scroll to Assignments (see How to open the assignment form).

  2. The candidates are the same MLP-eligible pool as on the web. Each name carries its validation messages underneath, colour-coded red (blocking), amber (warning), and blue (info) — the same severities as the web badges.

  3. On Android, tap Assign next to the person. On iOS, tap Add assignment and then the person in the sheet.

Save#

  1. Click ‘Save’.

Assigning commits straight away — there’s nothing extra to save. Save / Done in the top bar saves the shift’s own fields.

Tip

You can still assign someone past a warning badge (e.g. a labor-law warning), but the form blocks you on a hard error like a missing required skill.

Verify it worked#

The person now appears on the shift block in the calendar and in the assignment list on the shift edit page.
