Minmal Number of Staff

Note

Configuration can be managed in two ways:

  • Preferred: via the browser-based StaffSchedulingWeb interface.
  • Advanced/manual: by editing the JSON files in the case folder directly.

For month-based cases, files are usually located in cases/{case_id}/{MM_YYYY}/... (for example cases/77/11_2024/...).

Minimum Number of Staff

To ensure that each shift is adequately staffed with qualified personnel, it is essential to set the minimum required number of staff members. This configuration can be changed in minimal_number_of_staff.json in the active case folder, typically:

  • cases/{case_id}/{MM_YYYY}/minimal_number_of_staff.json for month-based cases
  • cases/{case_id}/minimal_number_of_staff.json for non-month cases

The structure of this JSON file looks as follows:

{
    "Azubi": {
        "Di": {
            "F": 1,
            "N": 0,
            "S": 1
        },
        ...
    },
    ...
}

In this example, the keys represent employee types (e.g., Azubi) and days of the week (e.g., Di for Tuesday, abbreveations here are in German). The values indicate the minimum required number of staff for different shifts:

  • F for early shifts,
  • N for night shifts, and
  • S for late shifts.

To modify the minimum staffing requirements, simply update the numerical values corresponding to each shift type as needed.
