Working positions

Manage Patterns in the sidebar opens Pattern & Position Management. At the top right you switch between Patterns (group ROSTER) and Positions and Position plan (group OPS).

The list

Positions shows all working positions of the unit with designation, definition, description, required licences and status. At the top, Rostify counts the positions by kind. Drag the handle on the left to change the Order – this is the order in which the positions appear in the position plan and in the OPS schedule.

Creating a position

1. Click New or New working position.
2. Designation – short and unique within the unit, for example N-EC for North Executive. The preview next to it shows how the position looks in the plan.
3. Colour – from the palette or as a hex value. The colour identifies the position in the OPS schedule.
4. Definition – the kind of position (see below).
5. Licenses – move the required licences from Available to Required.
6. Optionally a Description, for example Sector North – Executive.
7. Click Position speichern (save position).

The five kinds

Definition	Meaning
Working position	A working position that must be staffed – for example the executive or planner position of a sector.
Supervisor	The shift supervisor's position. Give it the supervisor licence: only then does the optimal pattern recognise supervisor shifts and apply the supervisor rules.
Standby	Standby. Counts as working time.
Briefing	The handover time. Has no staffing demand in the strict sense.
Break	Break time, used in the OPS schedule for the break rules.

Active and inactive

Only active positions can be added to position plans. Deactivate positions that are temporarily not needed. The optimal pattern does not count inactive positions.
