What’s Changing?
Ability to include any open shifts in the Schedule by Demand graph.
Release date: 25th March 2020
Reason for the Change
Currently, open shifts are not considered in any Labour Productivity calculations. So when open shifts are moved to employees, users will see an increase of hours in their correct/over/under percentages. Having the ability to include open shifts in the Demand graph will allow for a more accurate forecast of correct hour compliance.
Customers Affected
The new functionality will only be available for customers who are using the Open Shifts functionality. For further information on Open Shifts, please see WFM Release Note - Labour Productivity: Open Shifts

To enable the functionality, an organisation setting will need to be applied – this will need to be done by someone with Admin user level.
