Improvement

We've noticed that some staff can get a little confused when seeing unscheduled shift options available, which can affect their timesheets.

Unscheduled shifts are your secret weapon for last-minute emergencies when you unexpectedly need to draft an employee into work. When used correctly can be a big help to your business. 

To prevent your staff from clocking in for an unscheduled shift when they're already on the rota, we've introduced some additional settings to give you more control. 

Now, as well as the option to enable or disable unscheduled shifts you can also only allow employees to clock in for an unscheduled shift if they don't already have any shifts scheduled for that day. It's all about giving you the flexibility you need.

The system will now remember the day or week you’ve been viewing in the schedule, so if you navigate away and come back it will default to what you were looking at. You can still click the ‘Today’ button to return to the current week, as well.

Job role colour coding will now show when you print your schedule, as well as on the online version.

Managers can clock employees in and out of their scheduled shifts from the time clock page, making it easier to keep timesheets up to date.

Job roles now have assigned colours, making it easier than ever to spot them on the schedule. You can update the colours for each job role in your settings, giving you hours of fun getting your colour combinations just right.

Our DigiTickets integration has had an upgrade; events and sessions will now show on the schedule for each day, letting you really dig into your visitor numbers to make sure you’ve got the right number of staff onsite at every point during the day.

List shifts in order of when they start during the day, making it easier to check that you’ve got enough coverage at all times.

View and clock in for upcoming shifts, log unscheduled shifts, and record breaks and end times using the simplified time tracking interface.

Add, book, and manage leave in hours as well as days, allowing you to tailor leave allowances to individual employees.

Amend the email address assigned to pending employees and re-send their invites.

Don’t want to use open shifts? Not a problem; you can now disable them, freeing up space on your schedule to view your rota.

Mark breaks as paid or unpaid, making it easier to keep track of what everyone’s worked and how much they should be paid.

See any conflicts clearly highlighted on your schedule, making it easier to spot and resolve any issues.

Assign items to employees en masse, including locations, job roles, and line manager.

Easily get rid of shifts from the past that no one clocked in for, tidying up your schedule and clearing out any irrelevant records.

Quickly create a new shift template when adding a custom shift, saving you from having to create from scratch each time.

We’ve made a few changes behind the scenes to improve the speed of the schedule and make it easier to use.

The team page now acts as a directory for users without management permissions; they can view other team members to check who’s who and find core information like job role and department.

We’ve added the ability to duplicate any unassigned shifts, allowing you to bulk-create before assigning. Simply click on the shift you want to copy, select the ‘Duplicate Shift’ option, and choose how many duplicates you want to create.

You can now filter the schedule by group, making it even easier to track what’s happening in each part of your business.
