Scheduling Group Attribute for Jobs

You can use scheduling groups to group similar jobs for the purpose of workforce scheduling.

For example: In healthcare, the skill set of a Registered Nurse or RN may include multiple jobs in HCM such as Registered Nurse (RN), Charge Nurse (CN), and Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). A staffing need for an RN can be fulfilled by any one of these different jobs defined in HCM.

Scheduling group is an optional attribute that you can add to jobs. It’s defined as a lookup, and it's supported by the ORA_PER_SCHEDULING_GROUP lookup type. You can define the lookup values according to your requirement by using the Manage Common Lookups task.

Here are some more details about this attribute:

• Scheduling group isn't a required attribute.

• Its default value is blank.

• In the Job Duplicate flow, the value of this field is copied from the source job.

• You can upload data for this attribute using HCM Data Loader (HDL) and HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL).

• The Scheduling Group attribute is also migrated when you migrate your job configuration using the export and import functionality in Functional Setup Manager (FSM).

• You can make date-effective updates and correct the existing value of this attribute.

• The Scheduling Group attribute is added to the ManageJobs data model. You can add this attribute to the UpdateJobReport, CreateJobReport, and DTDeleteJobReport reports by customizing the BIP templates, if required.
