What happens when a member belongs to several different groups?

Consider what happens between the various settings given to your groups

Below are examples of how the various group settings behave in the case of an employee belonging to several different groups.

This is very important to consider as it delimits the same booking possibility for employee members.

Let us see the examples for each available setting:

Visible future days

  • An employee is a member of group A (14 future visible days) and is also a member of group B (30 future visible days) this employee will have visibility of future visible days of 30. In this case, the setting with the higher number wins.

Reservation limit

  • An employee who belongs to group A (who can book 7/7 days) and also belongs to group B (who can book 2/30 days instead) will be able to book 7/7 days as the ratio of the two values is greater. In this case, the setting with the greater ratio between the two values wins.

  • An employee who belongs to group A (with the activated limit of 7/7) and group B (without an activated limit) this employee will have no active limit. When an employee is also part of a group that has no limit for booking spaces, he/she will never have any booking limits.

Visible spaces

  • An employee who belongs to group A (who sees spaces x and y) and belongs to group B (who sees spaces z), this employee will see the spaces x,y,z available for booking. Again, the spaces are added together.

Bookable times

  • An employee belongs to group A (who can book on Fridays from 10am-8pm) and also belongs to group B (who can book on Mondays from 9am-6pm and Tuesdays from 9am-1pm) this employee will be able to book in all three set shifts of the groups he/she belongs to, so Mondays from 9am-6pm, Tuesdays from 9am-1pm and finally Fridays from 10am-8pm. All shifts add up.

Below is a recap table of the applied logic:

Visible future days

The higher value is considered

Reservation limit

The higher of the two values is considered

Visible spaces

The sum of the spaces is taken into account

Bookable times

The sum of the shifts is taken into account
