How to assign resource to shift schedules in the experimenter?

I would like to use the experimenter tool to test different groups of schedules for resources. e.g. Group A Vs GroupB. Each group has multiple schedules and each schedule is unique for the week (hence there are multiple).

For example:

GroupA_ScheduleA1 - 2 Technicians (Tech 1 & 2)

GroupA_ScheduleA2 - 1 Technician (Tech 3)

GroupB_ScheduleB1 - 2 Technicians (Tech 1 & 2)

GroupB_ScheduleB2 - 2 Technicians (Tech 3 & 4)

I tried using the experimenter tool, by choosing "Shift schedule assignment" for Experiment variable. And then TechnicianGroup2 resource group for object. Action > assign shift schedule. Then in scenario 1 - entered file name of the schedule GroupA_ScheduleA1. and scenario 2 - GroupB_ScheduleB1.

I am not sure how to proceed further.

Thanks for your response. I am using FlexSim healthcare. The experimenter tool seems quite different from what you have. Attached a copy.

Yes, you should use the Shift Schedule Assignment experiment variable. Is it not working for you? Make sure you put the name of each Shift Schedule in quotes.
