    For more information about running custom prioritization auto schedule, go to 'Auto-fill Schedule.'

  3. You must reach out to get auto scheduling enable on your humanity account to use the features related to it.

  4. Custom Prioritization rules need to be defined in your Humanity settings to take effect. 

  5. Custom Prioritization can only be used in the Advanced Mode of the Auto-Fill Schedule.

Notes: 

  1. Employees’ start date, employment type, and pay type can be used as default fields.

  2. Click 'Create additional Custom Fields' (if needed) and you may add "Option, Date, and Number" as custom fields from the Staff module as shown in Image 4.

  3. If “Option” is set as the field type, field values can be added via drag-and-drop.             The value at the top of the list will have the highest priority. Setting a default                 value is mandatory; this default will be applied for employees without a field                 value as shown in Image 5.

4. When “Number” is set as the field type, priority is set based on the numerical                 value—Lowest First (ascending) or Highest First (descending) order. Default
     value is mandatory as shown in Image 6.

  5. When “Date” is set as the field type, priority is set based on the date—Oldest                First (ascending) or Newest First (descending)  order. A default date value is also          mandatory—either Today (the current date) or a custom date as shown in Image 7.
