The parts of a Tempo rota
These parts can be managed separately and intelligently brought together, as a rota, within any week:
Staff user weekly rota
This is handled as a week template for the staff user and can contain alternative week rotations.
The staff user template contains a session based description of their contracted week(s)
Since some session types in tempo can be ‘protected’ and some ‘flexible’, the users week template also contains a breakdown of their week in these key terms
The sessions in the user week can ALSO contain an optional appointment template, room, supervision rules or other session rules
Protected versus flexible user sessions
This session type attribute for sessions in staff user weeks determines whether or not a session for that person can be used by the organisation for an organisational session, such as duty OR if the session is something that the staff member does when they are IN
By marking staff user week session types as protected or flexible, we can start to zoom in on organisational capacity as well as create the basis for choosing people into organisational session in a rota week
