About Assignments and Assignment Types
The administrator has granted EVS employees and supervisors assignments to selected zones and sections within a campus or campuses.
This means that the employees will be offered bed cleaning jobs and the supervisors will supervise bed cleaning jobs that are in their assigned zones and sections.
Types
There are only two types of zone and section assignments
Fixed
Variable
Fixed Assignment
Employees or supervisors with fixed assignment types are always assigned to the same zones and sections.
The administrator selected their assigned zones and sections in their user profiles.
They do not have to select sections and zones when they sign in for the day.
Variable Assignment Types
Employees or supervisors with variable assignment types select the sections and zones where they will be assigned to work each time that they sign in.
Supervisors may tell the employees which sections and zones they should select before they sign in.
Variable users could be assigned to different sections and zones each time they sign in.
Modifying the Assignment
On the Employee list in the Capacity IQ® EVS application, supervisors with the Modify User Status/Assignment permission can change the section and zone assignments for employees within their membership who are signed in and who have variable assignment types.
Example
Chris Smith has a variable assignment type. Chris selected Section A when signing in for the day, as directed by the supervisor. During Chris' shift, there were few bed cleaning jobs in Section A, but there were more than the expected number of jobs in Section B. Chris's help was needed in Section B. The supervisor changed Chris' assignment to Section B on the Employee list.
To Learn an Employee's Assignment Type from the Employee List
On the Employee list (if you have the Access Employee List View and the Modify User Status/Assignment permissions), click the employee's device ID, sections, or zones to view the Supervisor Login/Logout Dialog box.
View the Assignment section of the Supervisor Login/Logout dialogue box.
The Assignment section displays Variable or Fixed and the currently assigned sections and zones.
