Description:

Guided Mode Advanced Mode (Required for this rule)

This rule cannot be represented in guided fields.

Rule Type:

Supported guided fields for the selected type are required and converted into the canonical API payload.

From Shift

Shift that starts the restricted transition.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for From Shift.

From Shift is paired with To Shift; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: D

Keeps risky back-to-back shift patterns out of the schedule.

To Shift

Shift that must not follow the starting shift too soon.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for To Shift.

To Shift is paired with From Shift; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: N

Makes the blocked transition explicit for reviewers and editors.

Minimum Days Between

Number of calendar days required between the two shifts.

Minimum Days Between must be greater than or equal to 1.

Example: 1

Protects recovery time before the restricted shift can happen again.

Shift A

First shift in the adjacency pair that should be blocked.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for Shift A.

Shift A is paired with Shift B; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: E

Documents the starting side of the unsafe pairing.

Shift B

Second shift in the adjacency pair that should not be adjacent.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for Shift B.

Shift B is paired with Shift A; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: N

Clarifies the exact follow-on shift being prevented.

Minimum Days Between

Minimum spacing required before the second shift can occur.

Minimum Days Between must be greater than or equal to 1.

Example: 1

Creates a readable rest-window requirement for adjacency rules.

Maximum Days

Highest allowed run length of worked days before time off is required.

Maximum Days must be greater than or equal to 1.

Example: 6

Prevents fatigue from long streaks of consecutive assignments.

From Shift

Shift that starts the minimum-off-time transition being protected.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for From Shift.

From Shift is paired with To Shift; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: N

Makes it clear which starting shift triggers the rest window.

To Shift

Shift that cannot be assigned until the minimum off-hours requirement is met.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for To Shift.

To Shift is paired with From Shift; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: D

Shows the follow-on shift that must wait for additional recovery time.

Minimum Off Hours

Smallest number of hours that must separate the two shifts.

Minimum Off Hours must be greater than or equal to 1.

Example: 12

Keeps the rest requirement readable for editors and reviewers.

Prerequisite Shift

Shift that must appear first in the sequence requirement.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for Prerequisite Shift.

Prerequisite Shift is paired with Then Shift; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: E

Explains the condition that unlocks the follow-on assignment.

Minimum Count

How many prerequisite shifts must be worked before the next shift is allowed.

Minimum Count must be greater than or equal to 1.

Example: 2

Ensures the sequence threshold is obvious when reviewing the rule.

Minimum Days Off After

Required days off between the prerequisite run and the next shift.

Minimum Days Off After must be greater than or equal to 0.

Example: 0

Captures recovery expectations alongside the sequence requirement.

Then Shift

Shift that becomes eligible after the prerequisite conditions are met.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for Then Shift.

Then Shift is paired with Prerequisite Shift; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: H

Shows the final shift affected by the prerequisite rule.

Shift Code

The shift type that must be worked in a block.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for Shift Code.

Shift Code is paired with the paired shift field; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: H

Ensures consistency in shift assignments.

Minimum Days

Smallest allowed run length for this shift type.

Example: 3

Prevents fragmented blocks of this specific shift.

From Shift

Starting shift of the transition.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for From Shift.

From Shift is paired with the paired shift field; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: Ir

Defines the trigger for the reward or penalty.

To Shift

Following shift (no day off) to reward or penalize.

Hint: Common shift codes include D, E, N, and H.

Hint: Use a common shift code such as D, E, N, or H for To Shift.

To Shift is paired with the paired shift field; confirm both values match the intended rule.

Example: Q

Specifies the target shift to group with the first.

Points (Bonus/Penalty)

Points to ADD to the objective score if this transition occurs. (Positive = Bonus, Negative = Penalty).

Example: 10

Drives the solver to favor specific shift combinations.
