Navigating the Roster screen

The roster groupings determine how the shifts are organised into rows on the roster screen. You can group by Employee, Location, Position, or Cost Centre.

The optional secondary grouping (on the right), gives you a more powerful view of your roster, just note that you can't drag and drop shifts while using a secondary grouping.

These let you select what time period is shown on the roster. The period chosen is also used to select shifts for bulk actions, so make sure you've chosen the right period before clicking Publish or using the Tools menu (

When using the Day view, the roster will show an hourly breakdown of the shifts. For longer periods, it will show a daily view.

When viewing longer periods, use the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen to see the full roster.

Roster filters (

You can filter shifts by various criteria including shift status, alerts, and whether the rostered employee has confirmed.

•  The Busy status shows when employees are busy at other stores.
• The Empty Groups filter shows group rows (e.g. employees) even when there are no shifts currently assigned.
• When the roster is grouped by employee, you can filter the list based on Contracted hours remaining for the period.
• Filtering by Employee Requirements shows shifts staffed by employees with any of the selected requirements.

When building a roster, we recommend enabling all filters (as in the screenshot) to give maximum visibility.

Select whether you want to colour the shifts by position, employee or location. If you select Position, the system will colour every shift with the same position in the same colour.

• Costings – Shows roster costings
• Detailed Totals – Shows total shifts, hours, and costs against the group for the whole period (in the left column) and for each day.
• Remaining Hours – Shows the number of hours remaining for the period each employee, in the left-most column. Only available when the roster view is grouped by employee.
