Spread Standards standards are based on a previous assessment of staffing requirements on an hour-by-hour basis. Spread Standards Although they are most commonly used for table games, but may spread standards might also be used for positions for which a flow has previously been analyzed and, as a result, flexible staffing has already set up.

Spread Standards tab – field descriptions
| Field | Description | Notes |
| Shift | Allows you to determine which shift to associate with the |
| standard. | READ-ONLY. |
| KBI |
| KBI associated with the spread standard. | READ-ONLY. | |
| Type | Displays one of the following:
| READ-ONLY. |
| Volume |
| Range | The volume range of KBIs for the standard. |
- Enter 1 in the From Volume field and up to 99999 in the To Volume field, to specify the range. If you don't care about the range, you can specify 0 in the From field and some large number that is bigger than the biggest number the KBI will ever have, in the To field. For example, you use the KBI for Total Rooms. You know that you will never have more than 500 rooms, so you would enter 1 in the From Volume field and 500 in the To Volume field.
- Note that if you use a KBI based on the number of rooms, and the time required to perform the variable work increases or decreases with higher volume, you should create and specify additional ranges. Conceivably you can have multiple ranges for each KBI. Be careful to make the top end of the range anumber that is higher than you could ever encounter. In the previous example, if you set the range as 1-500 and then enter 501 rooms (because a room was sold twice in one day), LMS will ignore the 501 and return a 0 standard.
If the number falls within the range of these values, the specified number of employees will be staffed. | READ-ONLY. |
