Locations
Location 1, Location 3 In this sheet you can specify the employee names and the roles (position/skill) they
Location 2 fulfill. You can then specify the number of positions that need to be filled daily for
each role in the 'Locations' sheet.

If all the employees have the same role you can leave the cells in the Role column
empty. In this case make sure to specify the number of positions that need to be
filled in daily within the 'Number of general positions to fill daily (for employees
with no role specified)' column in the 'Locations' sheet.

The desired and undesired shift dates can be specified for each employee in the
mm/dd/yyyy format, with the dates separated by a comma. The scheduling
algorithm will try to fulfill these requests if the other constraints allow.

The 'Locations' column represents the locations for which the employee is available
to work at. You can include multiple locations by using a comma. You can leave the
column value empty and that employee will be considered available for all the
locations. Make sure to spell the location names exactly as in the 'Locations' sheet.

If the shift hours vary based on the day of the week you can specify them in the
'Shift hours' sheet.

The 'Days off' sheet specifies holiday dates where no shifts need to be assigned.

If the shift hours vary based on the day of the week you can specify them in this sheet.

The 'Working hours' column is used to display the hours in the output schedule file. You
can leave it empty if the working hours don't need to be displayed in the output
schedule.

The 'Shift duration in hours' column is used for total shift hour calculations for each
employee in the 'Scheduling stats' sheet in the output schedule.

The 'Location' column signifies for which location the shift hour information applies to.
The app will use the shift hour data related to the specific location if it's available (e.g.
'Location 1') however if it's not present it'll use the general shift hour data (the rows that
are marked as 'All' in the 'Location' column).
So if all your locations have the same shift hours or you only have one location you can
just use the 'Location' = 'All' rows and remove the others.
Days off

In this sheet you can specify the days off/ holidays where no shifts need to
be assigned.

The dates should be in the mm/dd/yyyy format.
