Scheduling

As part of some ongoing changes to improve Shiftie’s performance, we have recently released some time-saving enhancements to the schedule so that your employees and shifts are loaded quicker. Spend more time scheduling and less time waiting for the dreaded spinner so you can enjoy your summer evenings.

The schedule print options have been optimised to be more understandable for a better user experience. We’ve also adjusted the job role options so that you can print the schedule in your desired format, including printing the job role colour without including the job role name for a more compact output. Use this tool to easily print the schedule and pin it to a wall in your staff rooms so your staff are always up-to-date with their shifts.

Knowing when your staff are on leave is helpful but understanding their reasons is useful too. Now it’s even easier to identify the type of leave your staff have booked. From Annual Leave to Study Leave, you can now view leave type names and colours on the schedule to quickly identify why your staff are taking time off.

We've expanded our shift deletion options; when you have multiple identical open or unassigned shifts you can select how many you want to get rid of instead of having to choose either one or all of them.

We've tidied up the schedule! If you have more than one type of unassigned or open shift set up for a day they’ll now stack one on top of the other to save space. Clicking on the top one will display all the others, as well as giving you the option to add more.

Are your employees in a perpetual state of amnesia about their shifts? Fear not, we've now added pre-shift reminders that'll make your team's life easier. Now, you can effortlessly schedule shift reminders to grace your employees' inboxes before their shifts begin. Want to give 'em a nudge 15 minutes, 2 hours, or 12 hours ahead of time? We've got you covered on all fronts.

Simply head on over to your settings, click on notifications, and voila, you'll find this option ready and waiting to be set up. Say goodbye to shift no-shows.

We’ve updated Day View to make it easier to see what’s going on at a glance. Job role colours now pull through, we’ve added an indicator when viewing ‘today’ to show what time it is currently, and the interface as a whole has been streamlined to make it clearer.

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.

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.

Print a copy of the schedule so that your team can refer to a physical version and you can annotate it to your heart’s content.

Save a snapshot of your rota, including what shifts are scheduled and who’s working, and apply it to future dates to make scheduling easier.
