Order names

General explanation​

In skillo we have requirements that have jobs that have shifts.

We wanted to make it easier for you to be able to identify requirements, jobs and shifts easily by unique names/numbers instead of creating confusion about how to identify a unique requirement/job/shift.

The goal is for you to set a requirement name if you want to or have one generated automatically for you. This will be taken into consideration and the job number and shift number will be suffixed to the jobs and shifts.

Thus:

  • a requirement will have an <order name>
  • a job will have a <order name>-<automatically calculated job number>
  • a shift will have a <order name>-<automatically calculated job number>-<automatically calculated shift number>

Requirement order names​

You can set the order name when you create a requirement.

If, for example, you name the order name "AAA" then:

  • the first job in that requirement will be something like AAA-001
  • the first shift of the first job in that requirement will be something like AAA-001-01
  • the second shift of the first job in that requirement will be something like AAA-001-02
  • the second job in that requirement will be AAA-002
  • the first shift of the second job in that requirement will be AAA-002-01
  • the second shift of the second job in that requirement will be AAA-002-02

it is useful - sometimes you will need to identify jobs and shifts by more than their competence or dates

Client order name prefix​

In the client settings, you have a field Order name prefix

Setting this to any alphanumerical string will allow skillo to generate the above new order names for requirements automatically.

Like for example, setting the client order name BBB will cause the next requirements to have the proposed ( not necessarily fixed ) order ids BBB-0001, BBB-0002, BBB-0003 and so on.
