Manager Safe Build Checklist

1. Start

Open the correct manager entry point before doing schedule work.

Status Checklist Item Details
Required Open Manager Simple Menu Use the cleaned-up manager menu instead of hunting through diagnostic pages.
Required Confirm the week/date range you are scheduling Make sure the manager knows which week or schedule period they are building.
Important Do not use employee portal for building Employee Portal is only for employee self-view, not schedule creation.

2. Build Schedule

Use the existing production/build workflow for real schedule building.

Status Checklist Item Details
Required Open Existing Production / Build Schedule This remains the live builder until we intentionally redesign it.
Required Add or review draft shifts using the existing workflow This checklist does not create, edit, delete, or save shifts.
Important Avoid automatic scheduling for now Automatic scheduling should wait until templates, availability, roles, and publish rules are intentionally designed.

3. Draft Review

Treat incomplete schedule work as draft until the manager intentionally publishes it.

Status Checklist Item Details
Required Review draft schedule before publishing Check open shifts, duplicated shifts, bad times, and employee coverage.
Required Keep draft data separate from employee self-view Employees should not rely on draft/incomplete schedule rows.
Optional Use route catalog if something looks missing The route catalog helps locate build/draft/publish/support screens.

4. Conflict Review

Review unavailable blocks and soft conflicts before publishing.

Status Checklist Item Details
Required Open Review Soft Conflicts Look for manager holds, unavailable blocks, appointments, and schedule overlaps.
Required Resolve or accept conflicts intentionally Conflicts are warnings/review items; they do not hard-block scheduling yet.
Important Do not turn conflicts into hard blocking yet Hard blocking should be a separate later design decision.

5. Publish

Publish only after the manager has reviewed coverage and conflicts.

Status Checklist Item Details
Required Publish from the existing production workflow Do not change publish behavior until the current flow is fully mapped.
Required Confirm published schedule appears in employee self-view After publishing, employees should use My Schedule, Weekly Schedule, and Print Weekly.
Important Do not add employee texts or emails yet Notifications should be added only when schedule data and permissions are finalized.

6. Employee View

Employees should only see simple, published, employee-facing pages.

Status Checklist Item Details
Required Send employees to Employee Portal Employees should not use builder, route catalog, diagnostics, or manager pages.
Required Use My Schedule and Weekly Schedule for normal viewing These pages should remain simple and easy to understand.
Optional Use Print Weekly when a paper schedule is needed Print Weekly should stay uncluttered and readable.

7. Support / Diagnostics

Use support tools only when needed, not as the daily manager workflow.

Status Checklist Item Details
Optional Use Builder Inventory and Route Catalog for troubleshooting These pages help identify routes, tables, and screens.
Optional Use Developer Tools Drawer for diagnostics Smoke tests, completion pages, route catalogs, and diagnostics are grouped there.
Required Keep diagnostics out of employee workflow Employees should not need to understand the technical support screens.
