First you need to define your resources and their availability (vacation,
workinghours, shifts). Then you need to define the tasks that you want them
to do. Now you allocate the resources to the tasks. The allocation can again
be restricted to certain shifts. If you want TJ to pick the resource, you can
just allocate all resources as alternatives and pick a selection algorithm
that suits your needs. See the manual on 'allocate' for more details.
