Shift Affinities¶

Open Shift Affinities

Affinities encourage or discourage selected people working on the same date. This page is optional. Skip it when no working-together rule is needed.

Real scenario example¶

The anonymized 87-person ward uses no affinity rules. Its staffing, requests, successions, and counts are sufficient, so this page remains empty.

Add an affinity¶

1. Select Add Shift Affinity.
2. Select dates, People 1, People 2, and shift types.
3. Use a positive weight to encourage matches or a negative weight to discourage them.
4. Select Add.

A match means the selected people work any selected shift on the same date. When a shift group is selected, they need not work the same concrete member shift. Use one concrete shift when that distinction matters.

Every top-level entry in People 1 is checked with every top-level entry in People 2. Individual IDs form individual pairs. A selected group remains one collective condition and matches when any member on each side works a selected shift. It does not create a separate rule for every member pair. Avoid overlapping selectors when a person should not match themselves.
