Review the roster as it stands.

The current roster

Check Solution uses the roster’s scoring rules and configuration. It evaluates the current assignments, whether placed manually or by the solver.

No assignment changes

Assignments stay where they are. Review the result, then edit, re-solve or keep the plan.

Check Solution runs the scoring without an optimisation search. Processing time depends on the roster and rules.

Result

Read the result in three parts.

Hard score

See violations of hard requirements. A feasible roster has none.

Unassigned shifts

Find required shifts that still need someone.

Soft score

See how the roster meets weighted preferences. Compare alternatives with the same rules and inputs.

Open the breakdown to see the rule and affected assignments or people, where available. It locates issues; it does not explain every search decision.

Check at each planning stage.

Before publication

Review applicable violations and gaps before staff receive the roster.

After an edit

Recheck the roster after moving an assignment or responding to an operational change.

During policy evaluation

Evaluate a roster against proposed rule settings to understand their scheduling impact.
