Randomly assign available people to shifts without exceeding the staffing capacity set for each shift. Built for small teams preparing a draft shift allocation for human review, this tool keeps people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities visible and shows the shift coverage draft before you use it.
Designed to randomly assign available people to shifts without exceeding the staffing capacity set for each shift, this tool applies assignment rules to people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities and presents the shift coverage draft for review.
Assignment workflow
Randomly assign available people to shifts without exceeding the staffing capacity set for each shift. Keep people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities visible while you fill volunteer event shifts, then review the shift coverage draft.
For this case, set people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities, then choose “Draft shift assignments.” Check the shift coverage draft before sharing or putting the result into use.
The Shift Assignment Generator result still needs organizer review. The tool does not check qualifications, rest periods, labor law, contracts, or overtime. Every draft requires review by an authorized scheduler before use.
Instructions
In Shift Assignment Generator, start with people: add one person per line, then turn off anyone who is unavailable for this draft.
Configure people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities. Turn off anyone who should not be included in this shift draft. Set how many people each shift can receive; use 0 to keep the default above.
Choose “Draft shift assignments.” The tool applies assignment rules and displays the shift coverage draft with any result notes.
Check the shift coverage draft against this limit: the tool does not check qualifications, rest periods, labor law, contracts, or overtime. If this Shift Assignment Generator result fits the task, copy it and download a CSV.
Troubleshooting
When: Shift Assignment Generator has no usable people, or an entry does not follow the format shown by that field.
Why: The tool needs valid people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities to produce the shift coverage draft.
Try: In Shift Assignment Generator, add one person per line, then turn off anyone who is unavailable for this draft; then draft shift assignments again.
When: The tool does not check qualifications, rest periods, labor law, contracts, or overtime.
Why: The tool evaluates people, shifts, default people per shift, worker availability, and shift capacities, but it cannot assess context outside those controls.
Try: Check the shift coverage draft against this additional limit: every draft requires review by an authorized scheduler before use. Revise the visible settings in Shift Assignment Generator when needed.
Trust

The active inputs and shift coverage draft remain with the open task. Random 42 does not save Shift Assignment Generator work as an online project; refreshing or closing the tool clears that active work.
