Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 60 rows came out of a blueprint — 29 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each volunteer can be assigned to only one shift per day.
  • Shifts must not overlap for the same volunteer.
  • Project priority determines task assignment when volunteers are oversubscribed.
  • Volunteer availability must be updated weekly.
  • Unassigned shifts are flagged for follow-up by managers.
