Grouped Replacements (PRIM005)

 

The "Grouped replacements" window (or "Multiple temporary requests management" window) allows you to consult, modify and create grouped replacements.

 

What is a grouped replacement?

A grouped replacement is a set of requests linked by a group number and intended for the same requesting client.

It is composed of one or more mission(s), themselves composed of one or more schedule(s). Each schedule is composed of one or more shifts that are considered as replacements and are listed in the "Operations" tab of the grouped replacement.

 

A mission is defined by the type of job. A grouped replacement can thus include several missions corresponding to as many types of jobs.

 

A schedule is defined by its period, whether it includes several punctual replacements or some recurrence - a schedule that is repeated from week to week. In that case, the schedule must have a start date, and weekly cycles can be defined (Week 1, week 2).  

 

A schedule can be associated to one candidate, or require several candidates/operations. By several candidates, we do not mean that the schedule is shared between candidate, but rather a situation where a client require several candidates on the same schedule. If it is not possible to assign a candidate to the whole schedule, it will also be possible to exclude shifts from the schedule.

 

In short, a grouped replacement can include one or more missions, and a single mission can contain one or more schedules. A schedule is a set of shifts for which one or more candidates (operations) are required.
