When setting up Atlas Scheduling, you can structure your schedule with organizations, locations, and positions.

Important: If you have mobile employees who work at multiple sites in any given week, the resources module will better serve your needs.


Organization

Use multiple organizations when you do not share any employees and you want each entity to be billed independently.

Location

Without the restriction above, you will want to create locations. An example would be a restaurant that has two locations in the same city.

  • Locations can share employees.

  • Locations can have different managers.

You can also use locations as departments (like one for the kitchen and another for the wait staff).

Position

  • Locations share the same positions but they can be hidden if empty.

  • An employee in two locations can have different positions at each location.
