    • When you make changes in the layout editor it doesn't update the layout until you click the Update (All) Layout.

      • This is because if you deleted a position and a Team Member was in the position it would deleted that Team Member from the day.

  • What other advanced features can I play with?

    • Min number field

      • Shows the min number that should be on that position. 
        • headset might be 2 (needs 2 headsets to have an effective shift)
        • Register might need 1 (need 1 Team Member on Register to have an effective shift)
    • Associated Training Position

      • Tells OneClick which part of the training data is associated with this position. 
        • Helps put the Aces in their Places
    • Associated Permission 

      • Associated a leadership role or permission set with this position. 
        • Example: Shift Leader Position would have Shift Leader in the Associated Permission. Then which ever Team Member that is the Shift Leader on the shift would be auto placed into the Shift Leader Position.
    • Autoschedule Priority
      • When you use the Auto Schedule feature it will look at this field to see where to start.
        • You can label each position in order 1,2,3...,16. So if you have 15 Team Members it will fill the position order you set. If you get a 16 Team Member it will place them into the 16 position
        • You can also label each position in buckets. It would go through all the 1 then 2 and so on.
          • For Example: if iPos, and Register had 1 and Bagger had a 2. The Auto Schedule would try and find positions for iPos and Register at the same time. Once it finishes both it will find someone for Bagger. 
      • *Note Auto Schedule also looks at the min number also
    • Hot Schedules Job Title(s)
      • Prefill your game plan that you are doing in HotSchedules into the positions in OneClick.
      • For Example: If in HotSchedules you assign the Team Member in charge with the job code  "Leader" Put the position of Shift Leader with the job code "Leader". OneClick will place that Team Member automatically into that spot.
      • Most common Job Codes: Prep, Delivery, Shift Leader, Dining Room...
