You must define the following data before the actual planning process can begin, so as to ensure that the planning phase can be completed efficiently:

• Profile

Specify the human resources (employees) who are to be available in the planning phase. The selection of personnel is based on operational tasks that need to be completed.

• Shift Groups

Define and group all abbreviations used for shifts or daily work schedules used in an enterprise.

• Requirements Types

Create time intervals (such as requirements on working days, Easter Monday, and Mondays) in a calendar, to allow you to define personnel requirements for them.

You use these default values to start shift planning.
