Using the module greatly streamlines the shift planning procedure for the executive personnel. The L.A.S.S.I.E.

25 +The Self-Scheduler presents several options to make the selection of shifts more convenient for the individual Operative. Those options can be found in the right portion of the status bar, hidden under a three bars menu icon in mobile view.
28 28  
29 -1. Select the Convention year for which you want to change your duty schedule. Usually only the newest event is available.
30 -1. Check the //"show events"// box to show all of the upcoming Convention's events like //"Dingo's L.A.S.S.I.E. Story Hour"//. //Convention events (e.g. panels) are always in one of the fifty shades of grey.// This is particular useful to fill in your preferences of your own "must-not-miss" events. Just add yourself to the grey event to prevent a duty shift to be assigned by the shift manager in the same timeframe.
31 -1. Check the //"show unassigned shifts only"// box to only show duty shifts which have not enough Operatives assgned yet.
32 -1. Select if you do want to see all shifts or only the shifts you have filled in for so far.
33 -1*. Selecting //"show all shifts"// will show all shifts for the upcoming event which are available to fill in for. Abbreviations will be explained later in this text. This option is default when opening the L.A.S.S.I.E. Self Scheduler Module.
34 -1*. Selecting //"show my shifts only"// improves the view of your personal duty schedule in a great way. If you did not fill in for any shifts, //"show my shifts only"// will most probably show you an empty calendar.
35 -1. Use this buttons to navigate through the calendar. If you really need help with those buttons you should decide on taking a //"computer for beginners"// course at your local training course provider. All images in this handbook have been taken from the //"day"// view option. So if you think it's crowded in the week view, try this one ;)

37 -== Must-not-Miss Events ==
29 +1. The //Search Text// field searches for the given word / phrase in all shifts available. The search will be performed in the fields title, location and information. Several words can be combined to a phrase using "+" (acts like an //OR//) and "-" (acts like an //AND NOT//).
30 +1*. "+Guard+SSO" shows all scheduler items containing the word "Guard" or "SSO"
31 +1*. "+Guard+SSO-Door" shows all scheduler items containing either the word "Guard" or "SSO" but //**not**// the word "Door"
32 +1. When the //show events// box is checked, all scheduler items containing the Convention's events like //"How to Furry 101"// will be displayed. //Please refer to the section "Must-not-Miss Events below for further information.//
33 +1. When the //show uneligible //box is checked, scheduler items which the Operatives can not choose (due to missing qualifications) will be displayed. Those otherwise will be omitted.
34 +1. When the //show unassigned //box is checked, only scheduler items which have not enough Operatives assigned yet will be displayed.
35 +1. Those radio buttons will change the view of the shift plan.
36 +1*. Selecting //show all shifts// will show all shifts for the upcoming event in planning mode. This option is default when opening the L.A.S.S.I.E. Self Scheduler Module.
37 +1*. Selecting //show my shifts// will display the personal duty schedule of the Operative only. If the Operative did not fill in for any shifts yet, //show my shifts only// will most probably show an empty calendar.

39 -Before planning your very own schedule, you should decide on which events on the upcoming Convention or event you do want to take part in (off duty). You do not have to do this, but it's strongly suggested. You may fill in yourself for any of the grey events and you will (under normal circumstances, i.e. if the Convention is not completely out of staff) not be scheduled otherwise at those times.

41 -Please select the //"show events" and "show my shifts only"// options, preferably in the //"day"// view. You will now get the day's Convention events and now are able to select any MnM event for yourself. To fill in for a MnM event you just have to click it.

43 -In the popup window, you can register yourself for that event by clicking the //"Register"// button (the green one). It will then change to a red //"De-register"// button, which, if clicked, will de-register you from that event (surprise!).
44 +To register for an MnM event the //show events// box should be checked. This will display all scheduler items containing the Convention's events like //"How to Furry 101"//.

In the popup, the green //Register 1/-// button can be clicked and the registration can afterwards be saved by clicking the //Save// button.

49 -Registering for duties pretty much works the same way as registering for events. There is, however a certain difference as duties have a number of Security Crew Members needed for them. If the number of registered Security Crew Members for a certain duty is too low or too high, a coloured bar will be shown in the entry.

51 -By clicking an entry a Security Crew Member can register themselves to that duty, just like registering for an MnM event. However, if the number of Security Crew Member still is not correct, the coloured bar will remain. Only if the number of registered Security Crew Members matches the number of needed Security Crew Members, the duty will become 'all green'.

52 52  
53 -If allowed by the shift manager in the [[System Settings>>url:https://www.furcom.org/wiki/index.php/System_Settings]], you can possibly register for a duty which is already 'booked out' thus 'overbooking' it. No guaranties you will have to work then, but having some Operatives spare is possibly not a bad idea. The final assignments, however, will be made by the shift manager.
55 +If activated by the shift manager in the [[System Settings>>url:https://www.furcom.org/wiki/index.php/System_Settings]], it is possible to register for a duty shift which is already 'booked out' and thus 'overbooking' it. Those overbooked duty shifts will be handled by the shift manager and Operatives having overbooked particular shifts might be reassigned to other duty shifts in the same timeframe.

57 +If the Operative has registered themselves to a MnM event or duty shift, the scheduler item will show green coloured bars. This applies to every view of the Self-Scheduler except when the //"show my shifts"// view is selected. This particular view can be used to show the own duty schedule upon being fully registered to all of their desired duty shifts and MnM events, and can be printed using the browser's 'Print' abilities.

71 -During a Convention, every Operative, no matter which rank or role should schedule themselves at least one night off. Usually the shift manager would insert a white event //"OFF DUTY"// each day from around 19:00 to the next morning. Each Security Crew Member should either select one of those for themselves or get one assigned by the shift manager. //Working beyond your limits doesn't help anyone.//

80 +If in use at the Convention, mandatory OFF DUTY times may be imposed on the Operatives, which allows them to 'clock out' for a given night.

73 -The decision for an //"OFF DUTY"// shift to be mandatory is made by the Convention's executive, but a guarantee to get the desired night off naturally can't be made. The final assignments, like always, will be made by the shift manager depending on security needs.
