Schedule groups are a way of dividing up jobs into separate groups for scheduling purposes.

 

Example: The front of house manager is responsible for scheduling the front of house and the back of house manager schedules the back of house.  Two schedule groups are established:  'Front of House' and 'Back of House'.

 

In the 'Front of House' schedule group, you include jobs like 'Server' and 'Host' and in the 'Back of House' schedule group included are the jobs 'Runner' and 'Dishwasher'.

 

In this example, only the Front of House manager will be able to see and schedule employees who are assigned to jobs in their schedule group and the Back of House manager will be only be able to see and schedule employees who are assigned to the Back of House schedule group.

 

Note that schedule groups will not be available until they are added to a schedule group set and assigned to an entity in either default labor definitions or labor definitions.
