Setting the Master Rota Cycle Schedule

After setting the Master Rota Start Date and Cycle Length, you can begin to set the cycle schedule for a Community Team member.

In the below example, we set the following shift schedule for an 8-day rota:

  • 3 days on, working 11:00 - 19:00
  • 2 days off
  • 2 days on, working 00:00 - 08:00
  • 1 day off

To do so:

  1. Select the first day in the Master Rota Cycle.
  1. Select Set Shift . The shifts that you set in the Shifts Setup screen display, see Setting Shifts. If required, you can also set a new shift , see Setting New Shifts.

  1. Choose the required shift or set a Day Off if necessary.
  2. Repeat for all days from the Rota Start Date until the Rota End Date. Multiple shifts can be set by holding the CTRL key on your keyboard.
  3. When the desired schedule has been set from the Rota Start Date until the Rota End Date, select Save Changes .
  4. The Master Rota is now saved and applied to all future work weeks for the selected team member, it is also applied to the Shift Management screen.
  5. This remains until the Master Rota is changed again.

 

Note - To avoid regularly setting shifts for timespans that are not available, it is recommended that you add all shifts through the Shifts Setup screen, see Setting Up Shifts
