  1. Choose AI planning to generate a proposal for review.
  2. Choose manual planning to make assignments yourself.

Step by step

  1. Open Assign and choose AI planning or manual planning.
  2. For AI planning, choose the target month. For manual planning, choose the object and month. Review the shifts and required staffing.
  3. Select eligible employees. Read any explanation beside a disabled or rejected candidate.
  4. Review a generated plan before saving; suggestions are not final assignments until saved.
  5. Save and check the result. Recheck open positions and adjust the plan where necessary.
  6. Go to Publish when you are ready to release the roster.

Notes & troubleshooting

  • The app checks current eligibility when saving. A preview can become outdated if availability or another shift changes.
  • Overlaps, insufficient rest, absence, capacity, or configured work limits can block an assignment. Fix the cause rather than repeatedly retrying the same selection.

Understand and resolve a message

Select at least one shift.

No shift is selected for the assignment.

What to do: Select the shifts you want to fill, then select eligible employees and review before saving.

Select at least one employee.

No employee is selected.

What to do: Select at least one eligible employee. If a person is unavailable, read the displayed reason before choosing someone else.

Blocked by minimum rest period

Another shift leaves too little rest between assignments.

What to do: Review the employee’s adjacent shifts. Choose another eligible employee or adjust the shift timing while preserving the required rest period.

Blocked by availability or days off

Availability or a day off prevents this assignment.

What to do: Check the employee’s availability and approved absences for that date. Correct inaccurate records, or choose an available employee.

AI provider unavailable, used smart fallback planner.

The AI provider was unavailable; the fallback planner produced the proposal.

What to do: Review the proposed assignments and open positions before saving. This notice alone does not mean the plan failed.
