📝 Q3 PGA Preferences

Q3 preference period: July 1 – September 30, 2026 · one quarter-wide request sheet

· You are in the

Start here: you are eligible by default

You are eligible for every PGA shift unless QGenda or you block it. First remove conflicts, then mark only the shifts you truly prefer.

Existing QGenda holiday commitment

Holiday call already assigned before preferences

These already-assigned PGA holiday shifts are shown before you enter preferences so you can avoid overextending yourself. They count for fatigue/consecutive-day awareness, but not for Q3 Par or request maxes.

Step-by-step Q3 checklist

Work top to bottom. Gray shifts stay eligible; change only real conflicts and real preferences.

/ 4 steps checked for
Step 1: Confirm maxes

Review the defaults

Review each whole-quarter max below. Change only if needed, then confirm.

Step 2: Use bulk tools

Fast blocks and preferences

Use bulk tools for repeated patterns — block conflicts, prefer favorites, or clear mistakes by day pattern and shift type.

Step 3: Optional shift-by-shift refine

Fine-tune only if needed

Bulk tools handle most changes. Use the sticky buttons only for individual shifts you still need to adjust.

Step 4: Save and submit

No need to mark every open shift

Click Save Draft anytime. Click Submit when your maxes, conflicts, and preferences are final.

Step 1 required input: confirm your Q3 request maxes

Q3 request maxes are quarter totals

Different from Q2: In Q3, each max is one total for July 1 – September 30, not a monthly number.

Example: A max of 5 means up to 5 assignments of that shift type across all of Q3 — not 5 per month.
What Par means: Par is the fair-share starting point for each shift type. The scheduler fills eligible doctors up to Par first, respecting any lower max you choose. Extra shifts are then load-balanced among doctors who asked for more. This replaces Q2’s month-by-month request review.
Important: Availability comes first. Your final count depends on what you leave open, what others submit, and coverage needs. Requests at or below Par get priority, but no shift count is guaranteed until everyone submits.

OR/Board Runner request maxes

Each max is for all of Q3 — not per month.

OB call request maxes

Each max is for all of Q3 — not per month.

OR-only call pool

You are listed as OR-only for Q3. OB request maxes and OB preference buttons are hidden; enter only OR and Board Runner preferences/conflicts.

Step 2: bulk blocks/preferences

Smart preference tools

Use bulk tools for repeated patterns: block conflicts, mark preferred shifts, or clear mistakes. Imported QGenda blocks are skipped unless you remove the block first.

Plain-English preference entry

Start with Block, Prefer, or Clear. Preview first; nothing changes until you confirm.

Block / cannot work = not eligible for that shift.
Prefer = priority request for that shift.
Clear = reset back to eligible gray.

Use: Block, Prefer, or Clear + optional month + day pattern/date range + shift type. Examples: “Block all Fridays”, “Block all OR weekday call in August”, “Prefer Wednesday OB nights”, “Clear Friday OR”.

Confirm preference change

Step 3 optional: adjust individual shifts

Individual shift adjustments

Use this only for fine-tuning after bulk tools. Choose an action — Cannot work, Prefer, or Clear — then click only the shifts you want to change. Untouched gray shifts remain eligible.

This unblocks the day for PGA scheduling only. QGenda remains official; make real vacation/no-call changes there.
