Staff change work location and role during the day

I am modeling a healthcare clinic where there is a separate check in and check out location for patients. The staff that work at these locations rotate during the day. For example, staff1 will work the check-in locations from 7am to 9:30am but when more staff come on shift at 9:30am they take over check-in and staff1 moves to work at check out. In my workflow I reference the staff group for check in to acquire a resource and do the same thing for a check out group for the check out section of my workflow. It seems like this might not be the best way to tackle this logic, so is there any better way to have this rotating staff move groups or be able to call them to check in from 7-9:30am and then check out from 9:30 to 8pm?

Adding and removing staff from certain groups is possible but it's likely to cause issues with the statistics for those Staff Groups.

In this situation you could use the Staff by Case:

For the case function, use "Model.dateTime.hour" and then you can specify what staff group you want to use for check-in at each hour of the day.

Alternatively, you could use the "filter by" function on the Staff shared asset to only select staff with a certain label (e.g. CheckIn) and then change the label value whenever you want to change around the staff:

With this method, you would need to change the CheckIn label on the Staff member to 1 when you want to them to be available for that task.
