Requirements Matchup 

Definition

You can only assign requirements and employees by using Requirements Matchup. This function gives you an overview of available requirements records.

You can choose to display Requirements Matchup in either of the following two formats:

Shift plan in classic design

Shift plan in color design

Use

In Requirements Matchup, you can make assignments for one day, or several days at the same time. You can edit and display the assignments in detail, and make time-related changes to the shift plan. Partial-day assignments can also be made in the Day View. You can use Requirements Matchup in the same manner in the Day View. The Day View allows you to plan your shifts with high precision.

Requirements Matchup displays the current status of requirements processing, and takes requirements coverage into consideration. In addition, the Display assigned employees function lists the assignments that have already been made. This screen displays the date, employee and period for which an assignment already exists, and allows you to delete any of the assignments. In the shift plan, choose Edit ® Assignment ® Display.

If you choose Shift plan in color design from the Shift Plan: Overview screen, you can choose whether to display Requirements Matchup with one or two lines. If you display Requirements Matchup in one single line, information on both the target and actual number of employees (number already assigned to this requirements record) is displayed in a field in one line. If you display Requirements Matchup in two lines, however, this data is displayed in two separate lines.

The new color design allows you to highlight different business statuses in Requirements Matchup. This allows you to easily identify the current status of requirements coverage.
You can differentiate between the following statuses:

Fore more information, refer to General Color and Character Formatting, or the IMG for Shift Planning, under Define Icons, Colors and Character Formatting for Requirements Matchup.

You can also switch Requirements Matchup on or off at any time. The Day View depicts the current status in a timeline.
