    1. Must vs. Should: Must rules will be considered first by AI. Should rules will be optimized around by the AI depending on other rules, staff requests, and staffing coverage within a roster
    2. Have at least; at most; exactly
    3. When assigning a value to your rule, such as "2" days off, keep in mind that rostered staff may have different values for the same rule. To accommodate for this, simply assign a number that applies to the majority of cases and adjust on an individual level within the rules table cell as needed.
    4. In order to specify when a rule should apply, you can select from a variety of frequency options. For instance, you can choose for the rule to occur every week, every two weeks (also known as a "fortnight"), every roster, or after a night shift. This allows for a more personalized and flexible approach to rule creation.
  5. Keep adding the rules for your rosters.
