Classes

The Classes page on the Settings tab allows you to view, edit or add all available User Classes.

!Due to system mapping and database configuration associations, please consult with ShiftMatch before making any changes.

For an organization like a hospital where management would like to use ShiftMatch for different staffing groups (eg: nurses and janitorial staff) over the same geographical locations, establishing multiple Classes can help to achieve this.

By establishing two Classes, ShiftMatch allows the view of the architecture to remain constant (ie: the Locations appear the same to all), but Nurses can be scheduled using Grades, Skills, Pools etc relevant to them and Janitors can be scheduled using Grades, Skills, Pools etc relevant to them.
Nurses and Janitors each need to be scheduled to work in the Surgery Location of Cardiology.
The “Surgery” skill a nurse holds will be materially different to the “Surgery” skill a Janitor holds.

ShiftMatch will allow both departments to fill shortfalls in the right Location from Users in the right Class with the rights Grades and Skills-
Members of one Class will not be able to see the Grades or Skills or Users of another Class.

For more detail on allocation of Grades to the appropriate Class, see Grading Classes
For more detail on allocation of Skills to the appropriate Class, see Skill Grouping
