The Schedule page is split into 2 parts - Shift Templates at the top half, and Assigned Shifts to staff appear at the bottom half.

Shift Templates allows you to set custom staff requirements for each shift.

Find out if you have over-scheduled or under-scheduled manpower in a glance!


This guide will cover the following:


How It Works

You will need to create the shifts first for the week before you can assign the relevant staff to the shift.

There are two ways to create shifts:

1. Create shift template > Assign shift

2. Create shift on staff's empty cell

Choose either one that suits your work flow better!

Here's a short video of how Schedule works:


Create Shift Template

  1. In Web app, go to Schedule > Select the week > Select the section > Click on + icon.

2. Fill in the details of the shift > Click on 'Create' button.

Shift Name (optional)
You can insert the name of your shift.

E.g. Full shift.

Timing
Select your shift hours by adjusting the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ timings. Take note our system records timing in 24 hour format.

Unpaid break
Break duration indicated will not be counted in your total worked hours. 

E.g. If you schedule 9 hours of work in a day with 60 mins break, total scheduled hours captured is 8 hours.

Staff and Roles Needed
By default the role is Staff. You can choose to input the number of manpower you require for this shift as well as the different roles you create. 

Colour
You can pick a colour to differentiate different shifts for better visibility.
