# Rostering Management

[Rostering](/resource-management/resources-rostering.md) is an important part of the scheduling and resource management process which focuses on allocating the most appropriate resources (care workers) to Appointments. **Maica Client Care** offers a number of Settings on how this allocation is managed, as shown in the screenshot below.

### Matching Score Importance Level

As **Maica Client Care** calculates the [Overall Matching Score](/resource-management/resources-rostering.md) for resources, it is possible for you to assign an importance level to each criteria used in this calculation. This means, you are able to set what is more important when finding and allocating resources; for example, if assigning a higher percentage to `Skills`, then the algorithm will attribute a higher percentage to the matching of `Skills` in preference of another dimension.

### Other Settings

When resources create [unavailability](/planner-management/unavailability-and-breaks.md) records (pending permissions), this Settings determines what `Status` will be used when this record is created. This essentially allows you to build any relevant approval process around unavailability as per your organisational requirements.

### Recurring Shifts

**Maica Client Care** offers an automated process of generating Shift records. The `Recurring Shifts Creation Time` sets the time at which this automatic and background process is run.
