Work Content
TK
-Work content applied only to jobs. It really only matters for unfilled shifts.
-The Work Content view is showing undistributed work content. It shows work content that shifts have not been created for. It's only meant to be used with one job selected. (You can select multiple jobs, but it can only be used for one job.)
-Work content is, for example, 10 minutes to set up a table - setting up a one table is one piece of work content. So how much work content is required to fill a shift?
-Shifts are based off of labor standards for the job.
-If the Banquet Manager does not trust the Scheduler Engine to generate jobs, he or she can generate manually from the context menu. The context menu shows you how many shifts are needed

The Work Content and Workflow views enable you to more efficiently view, plan, and manage labor for event-related jobs in your organization.
The Work Content view
Work content refers to the amount of work to do for an event-related job. Examples of work content for banquet housemen include setting up and tearing down for events, providing water service to meeting rooms, and refreshing rooms between events.
The Work Content view in Timeline Scheduling is a graphical representation of undistributed work content, which is work content that cannot be accomplished with the planned shifts in the manager's plan. The Work Content view assists the manager in understanding how the manager's planned shifts compare with the work content so that the manager can create a schedule of shifts that is sufficient to accomplish all the work for the planning period.
The Workflow view
The Workflow view displays how work is flowed relative to the manager's planned shifts. Each planned shift appears as a block on the timeline. With the Workflow view, you can see work content as it is assigned to the planned shifts to better understand the amount of work that will be done throughout each day.
