required_qualificationEmploymentQualification4
Default qualification requirement for shifts of this type.
Show fields (7)

  Ranking within an equivalence network - a linked qualification with a higher or equal ranking also satisfies requirements for this qualification.
- equivalent_qualificationsarray<EmploymentQualification4>
  Linked ("equivalent") qualifications. Kept symmetric by the controller: every link A->B is mirrored as B->A, the ranking decides which direction actually covers which.

  U09: the school calendar of this group when it differs from the organisation's (apprentices attending school in another Bundesland). null = the organisation's.
- search_stringstring
  Text that the entity can be searched by.
- deletedboolean
  This property is used to mark an entity as deleted / archived
- namestring
  Name of the entity.
employment_organizationEmploymentOrganization2
Organization the shift type belongs to.
Show fields (12)
- staged_absence_approvalboolean
  null inherits the organization policy (contracts); existing installations stay off.
- idinteger
  Primary key of the employment organization. Internal ID.
- allow_app_time_trackingboolean
  Whether time tracking in the app is allowed.
- school_holiday_regionSchoolHolidayRegion
  U09: the school calendar (Bundesland) of this organisation; groups may override it.
- organization_unitOrganizationUnit5
  L01: the node of the organisation tree this organisation hangs on (Einrichtung, Bereich, Geschäftsstelle ...). Leaders of that node and of the nodes above lead this organisation as well.
- shift_booking_syncboolean
  L35: published shifts of this organisation's people appear as availabilities in the event/booking area and a shift may be turned into an appointment. null = off.
- allow_scanner_time_trackingboolean
  Whether time tracking with a scanner is allowed.
- allow_app_non_work_time_managementboolean
  Whether non-work time can be managed in the app.
- include_in_auto_exportboolean
  Whether the organization is included in the automatic export.
- search_stringstring
  Text that the entity can be searched by.
- namestring
  Name of the entity.
- deletedboolean
  This property is used to mark an entity as deleted / archived
short_namestring
Short code for grids and print ("F", "S", "N").
start_timestring
Default start time as HH:MM.
end_timestring
Default end time as HH:MM - an end time before the start time means the shift ends on the following day (night shift).
break_duration_secondsinteger
Break duration of the shift in seconds.
colorstring
Color of the shift type in the shift plan, as hex code.
required_qualificationEmploymentQualification
Default qualification requirement for shifts of this type.
Show fields (7)
- idinteger
  Primary key of the employment qualification. Internal ID.
- rankinginteger
  Ranking within an equivalence network - a linked qualification with a higher or equal ranking also satisfies requirements for this qualification.
- equivalent_qualificationsarray<EmploymentQualification>
  Linked ("equivalent") qualifications. Kept symmetric by the controller: every link A->B is mirrored as B->A, the ranking decides which direction actually covers which.
- qualification_groupEmploymentQualificationGroup
  L17/A06: the "drawer" this qualification belongs to. Members of one group cover each other's requirements within their ranking, like a direct link would.
- search_stringstring
  Text that the entity can be searched by.
- deletedboolean
  This property is used to mark an entity as deleted / archived
- namestring
  Name of the entity.
qualification_match_modestring
L18: EXACT demands the required qualification itself; EQUIVALENT (default, previous behaviour) also accepts linked or same-group qualifications with sufficient ranking.
default_staff_countinteger
Default number of staff needed for the shift.
sort_orderinteger
Sort order of the shift type in lists.
search_stringstring
Text that the entity can be searched by.
deletedboolean
This property is used to mark an entity as deleted / archived
namestring
Name of the entity.
createdstring (date-time)
Point in time the entity was created.
updatedstring (date-time)
Point in time the entity was last updated.
