Edit comments

Clicking the Edit comments link will pop up a box for you to attach any comments.

Click Generate assignments after entering your rules (if this button is not an option, check for a list of possible problems with the assignment). VSys will display all of the assignments out to the Extend assignments through date. If the created assignments are not what you're looking for, edit the rules then click on Generate assignments again.

Once the general rules are correct, make changes to or delete individual assignments from this list as needed (these changes will not affect other assignments on the list), then click on Save.

If you select a job which has a holiday schedule defined for it, when the job assignments are generated here, VSys will skip days which are holidays for that job.
