Assignment details
This configuration results in On-Call Optimizer balancing team members using a single shift type covering 7 days.
Limited optimization potential
While this is a common configuration for team new to On-Call Optimizer, we recommend migrating to one of the other examples in the
configuration library which provide more flexibility via shorter, more frequent shifts to ensure
you benefit fully from On-Call Optimizer’s ability to fit shifts assigned to a member around their constraints and preferences.
