1. To alleviate the tedium of trying out various schedule “scenarios” by hand, 
2. To produce and track a fair call schedule, that considers days off, vacations, and pre-scheduled jobs,
3. To produce a schedule that spaces assignments as far apart as possible, and
4. To standardize the process of generating a “preliminary” call schedule.

The Scheduling Assistant is meant to be used in “stages”, the way a human scheduler works. After scheduling the most difficult days first, you review the resulting schedule, then run the next most sensitive days, and review the schedule. Call Scheduler makes it easy to compare the resulting “preliminary” schedule with the tally sheet as you go, so you can manually tweak the schedule at any stage.
