How Scheduling Priority Works

Scheduling Priority controls the order employees are considered when SubItUp creates a schedule.

The most important thing to know is that Priority 0 does not mean highest priority. Employees set to Priority 0 will not be scheduled.

How Priority Works

SubItUp considers employees in the following order:

The lower the active Priority number, the earlier the employee is considered, starting with Priority 1.

If you have three employees:

SubItUp will consider Alex first, followed by Jordan.

Taylor will not be scheduled because their Priority is set to 0.

What Does Priority 0 Mean?

Priority 0 prevents an employee from being scheduled.

Do not use Priority 0 when you want an employee to have the highest scheduling priority.

If you want an employee to be considered first when creating the schedule, use Priority 1.

What Does Priority 1 Mean?

Priority 1 is the first scheduling priority.

Employees with Priority 1 are considered before employees with Priority 2, Priority 3, and higher priority numbers.

Important Notes

Priority 0 means the employee will not be scheduled.
Priority 1 is the first scheduling priority.
Priority 2 is considered after Priority 1.
Priority 3 is considered after Priority 2, and so on.
A higher numerical Priority does not mean the employee will be considered first.
Priority determines the order employees are considered for scheduling.
