Building the rota
Draft the week person by person, then publish it to the team.
Open Rota. Each row is someone whose home store it is, showing the hours they said they can work each day, their time off, and public holidays in the day headings.
- 1Press + Add on a day to add a shift for a person, or an open shift for the first from the team to take it.
- 2Set the role, times and break. A shift can repeat on other days and for up to 11 more weeks.
- 3Shifts outside someone’s hours, or over a working-time limit, are flagged. Under 18s are marked.
- 4When the week looks right, press Publish. Each person gets one alert to accept their shifts.
- Copy this week forward copies the week into the next 1 to 8 weeks as drafts.
- Suggest this week drafts it for you - see Suggested rotas.
- Sort the team, show only people with shifts, and print the week or save it as a PDF.
