How can I configure a schedule with no overlap to another schedule?

Question

Is it possible to configure a schedule (rotation) that does not overlap with another schedule in terms of who is on-call?

What we're trying to achieve is a schedule (rotation) for help-desk duties from our pool of engineers that automatically excludes whoever is currently on-call at any given time. The rotation would automatically skip whoever is on call at that time.

@Prasanth It's deplorable that this issue has not been resolved in years. It's evident that each company starting 25+ devs will have different environments (stage, prod). There will be devs that are taking part in prod on duties (say middle & seniors) and more devs (including juniors) taking part in stage on duties. And you would like to organize their schedules smoothly without overlapping between prod and stage for example.

Our current approach is that when a clash occurs, we'll add an override to one of the schedules.

Hi Jason,

At the moment there is no way to automatically exclude a set of users those are part of another schedule. That needs to be done, manually while creating a schedule.
