Rostering Data Filters

The Filters frame on the Display tab is used after you create rosters.

The options in the frame help you to change the data that you can view in one grid or in both grids in various ways such as by time, day of the week, run, and roster type. You can also compare certain data or perform manual rostering.

Y (Yes) and N (No)

The headers indicate that the following conditions were applied/not applied to the rosters:
  • Regular

  • Frozen
  • Off Days Assigned
  • Rest OK (rosters which have/do not have rest time violations)
  • Forced
Note: Both the Yes and No check boxes of all conditions are selected by default. This means that unless you clear either check box, you will see rosters that display both conditions in the grids. For example, with both Frozen check boxes selected, rosters which are frozen and not frozen appear on the grids.
