Builder Help Strip

Manager build workflow: Build → Review → Publish → Employee View

Quick links are consolidated here so managers do not have to hunt through the larger navigation. This strip is visual only. It does not change saves, publishing, schedule rows, employee views, notifications, locking, payroll, Time Clock, POS, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Manager Schedule Builder — Safe Workflow

Build here. Review conflicts before publishing. Employees view only published schedules.

Use this screen for the existing manager build workflow. Before publishing, review unavailable blocks and soft conflicts. After publishing, employees should use the Employee Portal, My Schedule, Weekly Schedule, or Print Weekly.

Phase 25P-1 only adds clarity and support links. It does not change draft saves, publishing, schedule locking, employee text/email notifications, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Draft Status / Publish Readiness

Treat this as draft work until the manager intentionally publishes it.

Before publishing, confirm the date range, employee coverage, shift times, and soft conflicts. Once published, employees should use the Employee Portal and self-view pages for their final schedule.

Phase 25P-2 adds labels and readiness guidance only. It does not change save buttons, publish buttons, schedule rows, draft data, published data, employee visibility, notifications, locking, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Publish Review Reminder

Review soft conflicts before publishing this schedule.

Before the manager publishes, check unavailable blocks, appointments, manager holds, duplicate shift issues, and any soft conflicts. Conflicts are still review warnings only; this does not hard-block scheduling.

Phase 25P-3 adds this publish-review callout only. It does not change save buttons, publish buttons, draft rows, published rows, employee visibility, schedule locking, employee text/email notifications, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Open Soft Conflicts Publish Checklist Draft Labels Employee View
Unavailable Review unavailable blocks.
Appointments Check appointment overlap.
Manager Holds Review manager holds.
Coverage Check staff coverage.
Publish Publish after review.
Employee View Reminder

Employees should view published schedules only from Employee Portal.

After the manager publishes, employees should use Employee Portal, My Schedule, Weekly Schedule, or Print Weekly. Managers should avoid sending employees to builder, diagnostics, route catalogs, checklists, or developer tools.

Phase 25P-4 adds this reminder only. It does not change publish behavior, employee schedule data, employee permissions, schedule locking, employee text/email notifications, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Requirements Before Real Publish Can Be Enabled

  1. The real publish action must remain a separate, explicit future phase.
  2. The manager must select one valid draft schedule period.
  3. The draft period must have a valid start date and end date.
  4. The draft period must contain at least one draft shift.
  5. Every draft shift must have an employee assignment before publish.
  6. Every draft shift must have work date, start time, and end time before publish.
  7. Soft conflict warnings must be reviewed before publish.
  8. A publish-prep acknowledgment should exist before publish.
  9. A dry run should be reviewed before publish.
  10. The permission gate should be reviewed before publish.
  11. The disabled scaffold should be confirmed before enabling a real publish action.
  12. Duplicate published rows must be prevented before publish.
  13. A future publish action must write an audit log.
  14. A future publish action must not text employees unless a later employee-text phase explicitly enables that behavior.
  15. A future publish action must not create POS shifts unless a later POS-shift integration phase explicitly enables that behavior.
  16. A future publish action must not affect payroll or Time Clock rules unless those integrations are separately approved.

Duplicate Prevention Rules

Rule Reason
One published period per source draft period unless manager intentionally creates a new revision. Prevents accidental duplicate schedules for the same week or event range.
Published shifts should carry source_schedule_period_id and source_draft_shift_id. Allows duplicate checks and audit traceability back to the draft source.
Before inserting, future publish code must check hd_published_schedule_periods for source_schedule_period_id. Prevents duplicate published period rows.
Before inserting each shift, future publish code must check hd_published_shifts for source_draft_shift_id. Prevents duplicate published shift rows.
If duplicates exist, future publish code should stop and show a manager review screen. Keeps the manager in control and avoids silent overwrites.
Future revisions should be handled as a separate publish revision flow. Avoids mixing initial publish and revision behavior.

Future Audit Requirements

  • Record who triggered the future publish action.
  • Record when the future publish action happened.
  • Record source schedule period ID.
  • Record created published schedule period ID.
  • Record number of published shifts created.
  • Record blocker count and warning count from the final review.
  • Record manager acknowledgment reference when available.
  • Record before/after counts for published tables.
  • Record duplicate-prevention result.
  • Record that employee texts, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, exports, reservations, payments, waivers, customer profiles, and schedule locking were not touched unless separately enabled.

Separation Boundaries

  • Employee scheduling publish should only create published schedule rows in the published schedule tables.
  • Employee text notifications must remain separate until an employee-notification module is approved.
  • POS shift creation must remain separate until a POS-shift bridge module is approved.
  • Payroll must remain separate until payroll preparation/export is approved.
  • Time Clock rules must remain separate until Time Clock integration is approved.
  • Schedule locking must remain separate until a schedule-lock module is approved.
  • Reservations, payments, waivers, and customer profiles must not be touched by schedule publishing.
  • CSV/PDF exports must remain separate from schedule publish.
  • Unavailable blocks must remain advisory unless a future phase explicitly adds blocking behavior.

Future Real Publish Steps

  1. Open selected draft period.
  2. Run all blocker checks.
  3. Run all warning checks.
  4. Check duplicate published period rows.
  5. Check duplicate published shift rows.
  6. Create one published schedule period row.
  7. Copy draft shifts into published shift rows.
  8. Preserve source IDs on copied rows.
  9. Write schedule audit log.
  10. Return success screen with published period and shift count.
  11. Do not text employees, create POS shifts, touch payroll, touch Time Clock, lock schedules, export files, or alter reservations/payments/waivers/customer profiles in the first real publish phase.

  1. Show the exact published period payload that would be inserted.
  2. Show the exact published shift payload list that would be inserted.
  3. Show the exact audit-log payload that would be written.
  4. Keep it GET-only and no-write.
  5. Do not text, export, lock, publish, update payroll, update Time Clock, create POS shifts, or touch reservations/payments/waivers/customer profiles.
