Scheduling

Improved schedule filters give you a tidier, more focused view of your scheduling, making hours and cost analysis easier to interpret and shift management simpler to navigate. Filters now hide shifts directly on the schedule, giving you a more accurate picture of what’s included in your results. Plus, with a new option to show or hide shifts from other schedules, you’ll have a cleaner, more reliable view when assessing fulfilment and coverage.

When adding a shift, the warning message now identifies which existing shifts would cause conflicts. This gives schedulers the details they need to understand potential clashes before assigning new shifts. With that context, it’s much simpler to resolve conflicts and keep the schedule running smoothly.

The acknowledge‑shifts dialog now provides more detail about an employee’s upcoming shifts, including notes and tags. This gives team members a clearer understanding of any messages or responsibilities linked to their shifts before they acknowledge them, supporting smoother communication and fewer missed details.

Shiftie’s new schedule layout helps you easily view the allocation of job roles across your weekly shifts. This helps ensure that all positions are fulfilled each day and reduces the need for searching each employee to check which role they’re working. With tools for adding new shifts, easily reallocating with drag-and-drop, and quickly viewing who’s on leave, this new view is sure to keep your scheduling simple!

Reviewing open shifts just became more streamlined! A new status for open shift requests now makes it easier to see which employees are still available and best suited for the shifts they’ve claimed. Plus, any open shifts without available responses will be automatically hidden from the Requests page, keeping things cleaner and easier to manage.

What’s a Dashboard without powerful tools? Just another filler page. At Shiftie, we take pride in providing great user experiences. That’s why we’ve enhanced the Schedule Overview widget to make adjusting shifts faster and keeping on top of actions easier. The widget now remembers the schedule you last selected and includes new viewing options, allowing you to switch between weekly and daily views seamlessly.

Even better, shifts can now be managed directly from the Dashboard; there’s no need to navigate back and forth to the full schedule. It’s all designed to save you time and reduce friction when managing your schedule.

The printed schedule now includes employee unavailability, making it easier to share complete, up-to-date information with other teams. This added visibility helps improve awareness, reduce clashes, and support better day-to-day planning.

Adding new team members to your schedules just got even easier. You can now quickly select them directly from their groups, speeding up the scheduling process and reducing the chance of missing anyone.

Managing a large team and struggling to keep track of everyone? You can now enlarge employee avatars directly on the schedule, making it easier to quickly identify each team member and assign them to the right shifts with confidence.

Breaks without a set start time can now be scheduled over a shift area session, allowing employees to take their breaks at the best time within their working hours. This gives teams greater autonomy while keeping overall shift timelines clear and organised. Prefer more structure? You can still assign specific break start times whenever needed.

Approving open shift requests is now quicker and easier. With additional information visible when approving, including the schedule and employee group, it’s easy to find the most suitable employee for the shift! Not simple enough for you? Instead, let Shiftie automatically approve shift assignments using intelligent selection, choosing the most suitable employees from the list.

Say goodbye to the stress of last-minute schedule changes! With Shiftie’s schedule bulk updates feature, you can easily select multiple shifts at once and apply updates across all of them in a single action. Whether you need to adjust times, tags, or notes, this feature streamlines the process, saving you valuable time and reducing the risk of errors. Keep your team on track effortlessly while maintaining a clear, accurate schedule, even when plans change at the last minute.

Schedule insights now include paid breaks, both in the footer and for each employee, giving you a complete view of paid hours and costs. With greater accuracy, you can budget smarter and plan with confidence.

Two new schedule view options make it easier to focus on the details that matter the most. Tags can now be displayed in full, shown in a condensed view, or hidden entirely to save space. You also have the option to hide location information on shifts, giving a cleaner schedule and more room for the details you really need.

The improved shift panels now give you even more visibility, showing details like break duration and open shift responses so you can track and manage shifts easily at a glance.

Tired of scrolling through multiple weeks to ensure the month is covered? Schedule Month View is here to help give you a wider view of your schedules. You can now view all shifts across each month and quickly make changes where needed. Time off will also be visible in the new view, and bulk actions will work across the full month, allowing you to quickly manage more shifts at once.

When you need to make quick adjustments to the schedule, every second counts and waiting for it to load is the last thing you want. Thanks to our latest performance enhancements, the schedule now runs faster than ever, letting you glide through shift changes, respond to requests in record time, and keep your team covered without breaking stride.

A new tool has been added to the schedule to let managers approve shift swaps directly from the schedule, instead of visiting our dedicated requests page. This saves time navigating between pages as everything you need to manage the schedule is right at your fingertips.

Leave and unavailability events used to cover multiple days on the schedule; these have now been broken into events for each day for easier management and understanding of time used per day, allowing more awareness of shift availability.

Job role ordering adds additional structure to your online schedule and printed copies, ensuring everything is easily accessible and in the right place. No more time spent scrolling through the schedule trying to find employees; instead, they’re right where you’re expecting, ready to assign shifts.
