When “Add” is selected you can start typing in the field on the left. Once done hit enter on your keyboard

After every position you will initially need click on add again to enter more position

Once you entered the last position, click “Next” to set up employees

After adding an employee you can continue to the next one. In this example, Mary Beth, using the same procedures as the last one

Once you have added all the employees, click “Next” to set up needs

To specify your needs, begin by clicking the cell corresponding to the position and time, example: Baker at 6 AM on Thursday

Once the cell is selected, enter the number of employees you need to work during that shift

In this example we will assume you need 1 Baker at 6 AM

Continue to fill up the needs table as you see fit for this day

Once Monday is selected, fill in the needs for Monday.

The new employee now appears in the employee list. To edit an employee that already exists double click on an employee from the list. In this case we will edit Bill Johnson.

To change Bill Johnson's information simply click, type, or select any of the options. For this example, we will change Bill's availability on Sunday so that he is available from 6 to 12

Clicking the new availabilities changes the cell color to red indicating that the change is not saved. To Save the change press Apply or OK -OK will save and exit the window. -Apply will save without exiting the window to allow additional editing. -Cancel will exit without saving Press Apply.

The main screen is now displayed. To change a position’s need, press the Needs option under the Edit menu

The Needs window will appear. Each time slot on in the Needs table represents how many of that position are needed at that time. To add another Stocker to 8:00 on Thursday go to the cell that intersects 8:00 and Stocker and press it.

With cell now selected, typing 2 will increase the need for stockers at 8:00 to 2. Pressing OK or Apply makes saves the change. -OK saves and exits -Apply saves and allows the user to keep entering info -Cancel exits without saving Press Apply

The Position window will appear.

To add a Position, click Add.

A new line in the list of Positions will appear. Type in the name of your new Position. We will add a position called Programmer.

Once you’ve typed the name, hit enter on your keyboard.

Your new Position has now been created. You may add Needs for it with the Needs window (see Needs section for details).

You may edit the names of your Positions. Changing a Position name keeps all the Needs and schedules it had before the name change; it simply changes the name everywhere it appears throughout the program.

To change a Position name, first select the position you wish to change.

Next, click Edit.

You may now modify the Position name with your keyboard. We’ll change Programmer into Software Engineer.

Press the enter key on your keyboard to set this name.

The Position name is now changed throughout its appearances in the program.

You can delete Positions entirely as well. First select the Position you wish to delete. We’ve realized we run a sandwich shop and don’t really need any Software Engineers, so we’ll select that.

Now click Delete.

Select “Yes” to permanently delete “Software Engineer”

We have now deleted the Software Engineer Position.

At any time while changing the Positions, there are three ways to apply (or not apply) your changes.

Clicking Apply will save the changes you’ve made since the window opened, but the window will say open. We’ll click the window now.

The screen still looks the same, but the changes have been saved. The OK button both saves the changes made and closes the window. Press OK.

The window has closed and the changes have been saved. Open up the Positions window again as before.

The Position window will appear again.

Clicking Cancel closes the window and does not save any changes you have made since you last clicked OK or Apply. This is useful if you have made a mistake in your editing and don’t want to actually use the changes you’ve made. Click Cancel.

Any changes we would have made since the last time we pushed Apply or OK would not have been saved to the system. To view the different reports, begin by clicking “Report” in the tool bar
