Configuring Callout parameters

To configure the callout parameters, follow the steps below.

You can configure how open shifts are called out for a location by defining the shift distribution rules.

For example, you can set the callout to reach all team members instantaneously or in 15 minute intervals. You can offer shifts to your team members by cycling through the team members starting from the top of the sequence or starting after the last member who accepted a shift.
