Apply a wildcard on a shift

Apply a wildcard on a shift

After adding a shift to your schedule, you can apply a wildcard to let your planner or manager know that the shift assignment should not be changed:

  1. (Mobile users) Select MORE.
  2. Select Self Scheduling. Continue with step 3.

Or:

  1. Go to Workflow.
  2. To view a list of periods that are available for scheduling, select Periods available for self-scheduling.
  3. Select a period from the list.
  4. On the calendar, select the shift on which you want to apply a wildcard.

    A blue bar indicates a previously added shift on which you can apply a wildcard.

  5. Select the button to the right of the shift, or select SET WILDCARD.
  6. (Optional) On the Set a wildcard? panel, add a remark of max 200 characters.
  7. Select SET WILDCARD. A wildcard is applied to the shift.
    In ORTEC WS, the remark is a text field on the wildcard. In the Master schedule, the remark is shown with the wildcard. When the user edits or deletes the remark, the text field is updated accordingly.

    A purple shift indicates that a wildcard is applied.

Your planner or manager determines the number of wildcards employees can use.
