The Job slots and assignments into them tool lets you define job slots as well as assign people to those slots. The Jobs/slots calendar tool gives you the same information in a graphical representation.
For every slot, you can also see the number of people assigned to that slot, along with how many people are still needed.

Changes you make in this tool take effect immediately. Before you make a change, though, VSys checks the status of the slot and/or assignment: if it's different from what you see on your screen, VSys will either load in the new information and continue on, or it may stop you with a warning. From there you can re-examine the slot before continuing as the changes may affect your decision to take whatever action you were planning.
