The Healthcare solution offers the ability to auto dispatch jobs when they are created directly against a resource inside our consoles. This feature can be applied to the following apsects;

• Service Management Console
• Scheduling Console
• Group Event
• Job Record
• Resource Roster Console
• Resource Calendar
• Roster Management Console
• Contract Record
• Client Availability Console

Considerations

• Creating or updating jobs in the Scheduling Console, including the drag & drop action and creating recurring schedules, supports auto dispatching.
• Any other methods to create jobs will not support auto dispatching. The current “Publish Schedule” function can be used to auto dispatch these jobs instead.

To set up:

The custom setting Auto_Dispatch_Job should be turned on and enables the dispatching of work to resources from the AU Health consoles.

Use this custom setting to control whether:

• Allocated resources are automatically accepted and notified when the job is created, or
• The scheduler must dispatch the job from the Skedulo web app.

Setting options:

• Set Auto_Dispatch_Job to true to automatically dispatch a job when creating jobs and allocating resources.
• Set Auto_Dispatch_Job to false to manually dispatch a job when creating jobs and allocating resources.

The following setting Auto_Dispatch_Job_Settings can be updated to define which consoles this feature should activate.

• Navigate to Setup > Custom Settings > Skedulo Configs:
  • Find and edit setting Auto_Dispatch_Job_Settings. Append the text “HSC” = true to the current value. This will ensure the auto dispatch function also covers the Scheduling Console.
