Publish all your shifts
When booking workers on the Shift allocation (On site) screen, you have the option to publish shifts in bulk once you have booked workers to shifts:
-
Navigate to
. Verify that the Shift allocation for… selection is correct, the correct shift templates are selected, and the correct dates are displayed in the columns for the shifts that you plan to publish. -
Select the workers you would like to publish shifts for using the tick boxes or use the All link to select everyone. The row for each selection will display in yellow.
-
Select the Publish # Shift(s) button at the bottom of your screen. The “#” indicates the total number of shifts ready to publish for all the workers you selected. The Select shifts to publish dialog window opens. In this example, there are 6 shifts in total ready to be published.
-
Deselect any shifts that you don’t want to publish by clicking within it’s green box. The box reverts to white but the start time remains. Notice that the number on the Publish button will change as you deselect shifts. In our example, 2 shifts were deselected so the Publish button now indicates a total of 4.
-
Select Publish—all shifts highlighted in green will be published. The dialog window closes and the system returns to the Shift allocation (On site) screen.
-
Notice that the Workers are still selected (displayed in yellow) and the Publish # shifts button now reflects the 2 shifts that were deselected since these shifts are still ”ready” to be published.
-
Notifications (email and/or SMS) are sent to the Workers about their booked shifts (1 message per worker for all published shifts).
