HS ASC: Schedule Score: Configure Parameters for your locations

Overview

The Schedule Score feature empowers your organization to fine-tune schedule optimization based on your specific business priorities. By assigning weights to key scheduling parameters, you can ensure schedules are aligned with your goals, whether that’s reducing costs, maintaining compliance, or improving resource efficiency.

How to Configure Schedule Score Parameters

1. Access the Schedule Score Parameters Page
   From the Scheduling menu, select Schedule Score. You’ll be directed to the Schedule Score Parameters page, where you can view and manage your configuration settings.

2. Explore the Page Layout

   • The Schedule Score page serves as your main dashboard, displaying both default parameters and any custom parameters you’ve created.

   • Info Icon: Hover over the info icon to view helpful descriptions of how each parameter contributes to building efficient, cost-effective schedules.

   • Search Bar: Use the search bar to quickly locate specific custom parameters. If no matches are found, you’ll see a “No results found” message.

   • Parameter Cards: Parameters are organized in a clear, card-style layout:

     • Default Parameter Card – Always visible and shows the system’s default values.

     • Custom Parameter Cards – Display active rules in alphabetical order for easy navigation.

3. Add a Custom Parameter Set

   • On the Schedule Score page, click Add Parameter Set to create a new set of custom parameters tailored to your organization’s scheduling needs.

On the Configuration page, you can define how much influence each parameter has on your overall Schedule Score by assigning a value between 0 and 100. This flexibility allows you to prioritize the scheduling factors that matter most to your organization.

The following parameters are currently supported:

• Scheduled Hours vs. Forecasted Hours

• Overtime Violations

• Minor Rule Violations

• Right to Rest

• Minimum Time

• Availability Breaches

• Threshold Breaches

• Minimum Shift Rules

• Spread of Hours

• Split Shift

(Note: Only parameters configured in ASC will appear. Additional parameters will be introduced in future updates.)

• Pro Tip: Don't recognize a parameter? That's okay! Refer to the Glossary to determine if this parameter matters to you. 

4. Assign Parameters to Stores

   • Once you’ve configured your custom parameter set, you can assign it to one, multiple, or all stores.

   • Go to the Assign to Stores tab.

   • Select the stores where you want this parameter set to apply.

   • Each Parameter Group Card will display the number of stores currently assigned to that set, helping you track coverage at a glance.

• Store Assignment Rules 
  
  When assigning parameter sets, keep the following rules in mind: 

  • Single Group Assignment: Each store can belong to only one parameter group at a time.

  • Filter Options: Use the filter to view Assigned, Unassigned, or All stores (the default view is All).

  • Search Function: Quickly locate a specific store by entering its name in the search bar.

  • Edit Existing Parameters: To make changes, select the kebab menu (⋮) next to a parameter set. From there, you can adjust impact scores or update store assignments as needed.
