How to Schedule Manually
Updated
by Andrew Dotto
Manual Assignment allows users to directly schedule a job to a specific worker at a defined time, bypassing the automated scheduling process. This is typically used for exceptions or special cases where the standard scheduling rules cannot accommodate the requirement. It provides greater control over how and when work is assigned, while still allowing users to validate scheduling constraints and apply appropriate controls during the assignment process.
How to Manually Assign Your Tasks
To Manually assign a job click on jobs from the navigation menu > from the view select the job > Click on the Manual assignment button

The manual assignment window will open, allowing you to set your own scheduling solution, using the following options
Function | Detail |
Cancel | To close the window |
Schedule Now | once everything is populated click this to schedule the job |
Diagnostic | Click to see diagnostics on whether the job can be scheduled or not and if not why |
Set Job Manually | set the window start and end date and times (this will be the Time Slot allocated) |
Set Job Slot From Slot Hours Configuration | choose a slot from your configuration – this is recommended to guarantee a slot based on your setup and send the correct text and confirmation. |
Update Current Time Window | changes the current time window |
Assignment From and To | set within the slot when attendance needs to be. |
Time Lock | lock the job to this time or not |
Assigned To | Select the worker required |
Lock While Assigning | Lock to the worker Yes/No |
If scheduling fails, immediately force without asking | if the job cannot be scheduled do you want to automatically force this job without any warning. Yes/No – This is based on permissions against the profile. |
Once you have selected the options that best suit your scheduling solution, select Schedule Now.
