The Allocation Roster
In addition to the active duty roster, DutyMan provides a second roster - the allocation
roster.
The Active Roster
The active roster is the list of duties displayed on the >Roster page.
It is the master copy, the source for reminder emails, and the place for duty swaps
and volunteering.
The Allocation Roster
The allocation roster is used solely during duty allocation.
-
It lists future duties.
-
It is used by members to select their preferred duties and state dates for which
they are not available.
-
It is optionally used by duty co-ordinators to allocate duties and publish them
to the active roster.
-
After publication the allocation roster is redundant so DutyMan removes all duties
no sooner than 30 days after the publication date. The allocation roster is then
ready for reuse.
Note: it is most important that the same list of duties is not uploaded to both
the allocation roster and the active roster until allocation has been completed.
