A Roster Segment refers to a specific timeframe within a Roster Position Allocation, defined by unique conditions or settings for scheduling. It provides more granular control over Roster Positions, allowing flexibility in assigning different resources, managing patterns, and accommodating varying requirements.
Roster Segments are particularly useful in scenarios where multiple individuals need to fill the same position at different times or follow different work patterns, all within the same roster. This eliminates the need to create separate positions, simplifying scheduling while maintaining the unique conditions of each segment.
For example, if you have an Administrator position allocated, you can add multiple segments to that allocation to capture various attributes for each segment.
