Additional Worker Data

Andrew Dotto Updated by Andrew Dotto

Worker configuration settings define how operatives are scheduled, what work they can take on, and how their capacity is managed within DRS. These settings control factors such as workload limits, job durations, availability and reporting structures, allowing organisations to tailor scheduling behaviour to reflect real-world constraints and performance expectations.

Advanced Worker Fields

MAX_NUMBER_OF_TASKS: set as default to 1, this value can be used as a quota to only allow x number of tasks into an operative diary

MAX_DURATION_EMERGENCY: quota value for the maximum emergency quota that can be accepted if using quotas, usually set to the full working day value e.g., 420, 450, 480.

MAX_DURATION_URGENT: quota value for the maximum urgent quota that can be set if using quotas, once this threshold has been met with Standard and Urgent quota duration values the difference can be left to accommodate Emergency jobs. E.g., 350, 390.

MAX_DURATION_STANDARD: quota value for the maximum standard quota that can be set if using quotas, once this threshold has been met with Standard quota duration values the difference can be left to accommodate Urgent & Emergency jobs. E.g., 300, 320.

TRADE: Free Text box usually populated with a trade value.

PROJECT_PLANNER_RES: if using Project Planner set to TRUE for PP to be able to sync resource data for this operative

Duration Adjustment: Default value set to 100, this is global to all jobs the operative will attend.  If set to 100 this will honour the original duration of the job to indicate the operative needs 100% of the time to complete. This can be adjusted to 80 for example which will result in all jobs the operative attends only needing 80% of the duration time to complete. You can also set this the other way to be higher for apprentices or workers on light duties if they require more time – 120 would set it to require 120% of the original duration for example.

Day off Calendar: set this to be the day off calendar required in the system, this will pick up all the unavailability within that day off calendar once applied.

REPORTING_GROUP: this is an attribute where the values can be defined. Is sometimes used to associate Supervisors or Areas to an operative.
