Configure Key Lookups for Workforce Scheduling

If you're using scheduling groups with your staffing plans, you need to configure the lookup. Optionally configure shift categories, such as adding DAY, EVENING, NIGHT, and 24H_ONCALL. And optionally

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for and click the Manage Common Lookups task.
  2. On the Manage Common Lookups page, search for and select the relevant lookup type.
    • ORA_PER_SCHEDULING_GROUP: Categorize jobs with the skills needed for a specific workforce scheduling shift.
    • ORA_HWM_PREMIUM_SHIFT_CODE: Further qualify premium shift types for workforce scheduling.
    • ORA_HTS_ENT_SHIFTS_CATEGORY: Let schedulers more easily filter the shifts library for relevant shift, such as Day, Evening, Night, or 24h On-call shifts.
    • ORA_HTS_SHIFT_CHANGE_REASON: Add reasons for cover and drop shift requests, such as Approved absence, Childcare, or Medical emergency.
  3. Add 1 lookup code for each shift category or change reason. The Meaning value is what people see in the drop-down lists and as read-only values, so provide concise, meaningful values. Use descriptions to add fuller explanations for the meanings that implementors and application administrators can review when managing the lookup.
  4. Save your changes.
