One step at a time

Your first working week, made clear.

Follow the setup in order. Add more people and refine your schedule as your team grows.

  1. Set the foundations

    Create your workspace and locations.

  2. Bring people in

    Add employees and invite your team.

    Create employee profiles, assign locations and positions, then send an invitation or share a private invitation link. Give managers access to the locations they support.

    • Assign people to their locations and positions.
    • Choose employee or manager access as needed.

    Everyone has their own place to work.

  3. Plan and share

    Build and publish your weekly schedule.

    Use the Shift Planner to set dates, times and positions. Assign employees or leave shifts open, review scheduling warnings, then publish when the week is ready.

Do I need to invite everyone before I start?

When can employees see the schedule?

Employees see their published shifts in their own workspace. You can build and review a draft before sharing it with your team.

Who reviews time off and shift requests?

Business owners and authorized managers review requests within their assigned scope. Employees can submit requests and follow the recorded decision.
