Shift Planning: Build Your Schedule Online

Plan shifts of any length, at any time of day or night, on a schedule your whole team can see. Early, late, night and overnight shifts all work the same way.

Each shift can also have:

• a name, such as Late or Kitchen
• a description or notes for the people working it
• a break length
• clients and resources, such as rooms or vehicles

While you are still planning, shifts can stay as drafts. Confirm them when they are final. Draft shifts look different on the schedule, and you choose whether staff can see them yet.

Drag a shift onto another day to copy it, with or without its staff. You can copy a whole day of shifts in the same way, or a whole week from the month view.

Copying suits schedules that change from week to week. For shifts that follow a regular pattern, repeating shifts fill future weeks for you.

If someone is already working at the same time, the assignment menu shows the clash. You choose whether double assignments are allowed, shown as a warning, or blocked, separately for employees, clients and resources.

ShiftApp can warn you about shifts with nobody assigned, so gaps are not missed.

With shift interest turned on, staff can mark open shifts they would be willing, or reluctant, to work, which helps you fill them.
