MyScheduler 3.10.1.0
Released: 05/17/2022
- Core Weekend Commitment Calculation
- Enhancements and Fixes
Release DetailsRelease Details
Calendar : Core employee weekend commitments for self-scheduling are now determined as follows:
- Core employees with an FTE >= 0.80 must meet the full weekend commitment as determined by department settings.
- The weekend commitment for core employees with an FTE < 0.80 will be determined by multiplying the required weekend hours by the employee’s FTE. This number will be rounded up to the next shift.
Example:
Core Employee FTE = 0.70
Department Weekend Commitment Hours for Core Employees = 48 hours
Employee Weekend Commitment is 0.70 x 48 hrs. = 33.6 hrs., which is rounded up to three, 12-hour shifts
Bug Fix: Corrected an issue in which the Self-Scheduling Default calendar displayed current calendar dates rather than the generic schedule period.

Released: 04/26/2022
- User Impersonation
- SMS Activation
- Shift Swaps
- Enhancements and Fixes
Release DetailsRelease Details
User Impersonation: There are now two permissions associated with impersonating employees in MyScheduler:
- User – Impersonate: Allows a user to access the MyScheduler Administration screen where they can enter an employee’s 3/4 ID for a read-only view of the employee’s schedule and other screens within MyScheduler. Users assigned this permission, Managers and higher, may only impersonate employees within the departments they manage- i.e. primary and secondary department employees.
- User - Impersonate All: Allows a user read-only access to all employees within a division. By default, the following roles are assigned this permission: Administrator, Administrator 2, Facility Administrator, and Performance PI – Labor.
SMS Activation: Added new error messaging to help employees correct errors when opting in to receive SMS notifications.
- Incorrect Activation Code: “The validation code you entered is incorrect. Please re-enter the number or click Send New Code to receive a new activation code.”
- Expired Activation Code: “This activation code has expired. Please confirm the phone number and click Send New Code.”
- Duplicate Mobile Number: “This mobile phone number is already activated to receive SMS/test messages. Please provide a different mobile number.”
Shift Swaps: Shifts cannot be swapped in MyScheduler or Facility Scheduler within 48 hours of the shift start time. If a swap request is unanswered prior to that 48-hour window, it will display as expired in the employee’s notification inbox.
Bug Fix: Corrected an issue on the Department View where the final day of the schedule period did not display in the grid.
Bug Fix: Corrected an issue that caused intermittent error messages when deleting notifications.
