A time block is a period in which your venue is open and needs people, for example Friday 16:00 – 02:00. For each block you say how many people you need per position. Then you choose who works.

Add a block

  1. Open Make schedule and click Add shift, or Block next to a day.
  2. Choose the date, the start and the end.
  3. Under Required staffing per position, fill in how many people you need per position.
  4. Optionally give the block a description, e.g. Quiz night.
  5. Click Save time block.

Edit, duplicate or delete

The actions are at the bottom of each block:

A time block with the Edit and Duplicate buttons
  1. Edit (1): change the times, description or staffing. In the same window you can also delete a block that isn't published yet with Delete time block.
  2. Duplicate (2): choose another date and click Copy time block. The block and its staffing are copied, without people.

You can't delete a published block, but you can cancel it. See Change or cancel a published shift.

Viewing the week

At the top right, choose how you want to see the schedule: Daily overview (the whole week by day), Day (one day in detail), List or Month.
