Distribution Status Indicators

The 24/7 Work Distribution Status feature provides intuitive status bars that offer transparency throughout the distribution process. These status indicators appear on job posting details and update automatically as the system progresses through each distribution phase.


24/7 Work - Not Distributed (Blue)

When a job is initially created or has not yet been distributed to the 24/7 Work app, users will see a blue status bar indicating "24/7 Work - Not Distributed." This status appears before the worker ranking list is created and serves as a clear indication that the job is ready for distribution but has not yet begun the process.

24/7 Work - In Distribution (Yellow)

Once you select the "Distribute to 24/7" option, the status immediately changes to a yellow bar displaying "24/7 Work - In Distribution." This indicates that the system is actively creating worker rankings and beginning the talent notification process. This phase typically completes within one minute as the system processes the job criteria and begins notifying qualified talent.

24/7 Work - Distribution Complete (Green)

After all eligible talent have been identified and their notifications are queued for delivery, or all available shifts have been filled, the status updates to a green bar showing "24/7 Work - Distribution Complete." This final status confirms that the distribution process has finished successfully and all qualified candidates are in the delivery queue. While most messages are delivered immediately, delivery times may vary slightly based on SMS carrier processing loads.
 

Enhanced Job Modification Capabilities

The distribution status intelligently responds to job modifications with enhanced capabilities that allow updates during any distribution phase:

Job Updates During Distribution

You can make job modifications at any time during the distribution process without waiting for completion. All job changes are processed intelligently, eliminating limitations around updating jobs during active distribution cycles.

Proactive Change Warnings

The system provides clear warnings when modifications will impact talent matching criteria. Key fields that trigger redistribution warnings include:

• Skills requirements
• Distribution method (Dynamic vs Picklist)
• Worksite address
• Start and end dates
• Schedule configuration
• Position quantities

Automatic Redistribution Management

Major changes that affect talent matching criteria will trigger automatic redistribution, causing the status to return to "24/7 Work - In Distribution" before completing again. This ensures all qualified talent receive updated notifications about job changes.

Minor changes that don't impact distribution will maintain the "24/7 Work - Distribution Complete" status without unnecessary re-processing.
