The scheduler fills the hardest shifts first, spreads hours fairly against each person's maximum, honours preferences when it can, and never breaks a hard rule: one shift per person per day, a minimum rest between shifts (10 hours by default, so no close-then-open), a limit on days in a row, availability and roles. Anything it cannot fill is listed with the reason (everyone left is unavailable, at their hours limit, and so on), so you know exactly whom to ask.\n\nThe card shows the roster grid and everyone's hours.
