Planner Settings & Shifts pane in Labor Standards
The Planner Settings & Shifts pane of the Labor Standards screen, used in conjunction with forecast business volumes and labor standards, helps you to determine what shifts should be scheduled to meet guest demand. Along with past actual data and labor standards, this pane can also help to calculate how many shifts should have been scheduled for better performance.
Use the Planner Settings & Shifts pane to adjust the settings that are implemented when you are working with shifts and standards. Configurations in the Planner Settings & Shifts pane affect the fields and values that you encounter as you create standards for the selected job.
Note: Because all values are inherited from the settings configured at the property level, the Inherited Value and Override columns are not available when viewing a property tab. When configuring planner settings for a property, you do not need to select Override before making adjustments in the Value column.
