Managing Schedules From Within The Staff Rota View

Learn how to manage your staff rota schedules from within OneBoxBM.

Manage your staff schedules from within the staff rota view.

Key Points

When managing staff rota schedules the main points to be aware of are.

  • In order to manage the schedule, you must granted access to do so.
  • In order to start building your schedule you must first assign some employees.
  • You can either assign employees to a staff rota manually, or you can use the auto add feature to assign them based upon which department they're in; this will be based upon which departments the rota is assigned to (if any).
  • You can manage both rota and employee shifts from within the schedule view.
  • The Schedule supports split shifts so each employee can have multiple shifts on the same day.
  • Each employee can be assigned multiple roles per shift.
Step-by-step

See below for a step-by-step guide on assigning employees to the schedule.

(Due to the somewhat complex nature of building a schedule, we have split the management of rota and employee shifts into their own help guides.)
