I’ve watched the videos and read the whole manual. I have a decent understanding of what it’s doing. One of the few things I actually liked about my last PBS software was that I could put up to 12 “prefer” off days, and it would give as many as it could (or none). While still honoring your type preference.

I’m rarely picky about specific days off, same with weekends. Especially while junior, I know day off requests are mostly useless anyway. If I bid certain days off and they failed anyway due to juniority, it’s just going to pick off days for me anyway right? That’s why I was hopeful. If I picked no off days, versus it just picking since it can’t award any preferred off days, hopefully that’s not shooting myself in the foot. Either way I’ll be on reserve at home next month, and junior, so I guess it doesn’t matter anyway.
