Add and manage roles

Set up the roles you roster shifts against, such as Cook or Supervisor, each with a colour and any default hours and breaks.

Add a role

1. Click your profile picture in the top right, then click Locations/Depts/Roles.
2. Click the Roles tab. Use the buttons above the list to pick the location, and the department if it has one.
3. Click Add Role.

4. Type a name into Name, up to 25 characters, and click the colour square beside it to pick one of the ten colours.
5. Under Departments or Locations, choose everywhere this role is worked. Timble creates the role once in each place you pick.
6. To give new shifts for this role a set start and finish, tick Enable Default Hours and set the times.
7. To give new shifts for this role set breaks, tick Enable Default Breaks and enter Rest break (paid) and Meal break (unpaid) in minutes, up to 240 each.

Note: Default hours and breaks are only a starting point. Whoever builds the roster can still change them on the shift.

8. Click Save.

Note: A role name has to be unique within its location or department. If it is taken, Timble says "The role already existed." Rename it and try again.

Tip: A role is only useful once members hold it. You assign roles on a member's Assignments tab under Members, which the People & permissions guides cover.

Edit a role

1. On the Roles tab, click the role, or click the pencil icon on its row.
2. Change the name, the colour, the default hours or the default breaks.
3. Click Update.

Note: You can't move a role to another location or department. To have the same role somewhere else, add it there.

Delete a role

1. On the Roles tab, click the bin icon on the role's row.
2. Timble asks "This role may be used by existing shifts. Are you sure you want to delete it?" Click Delete.

Note: Deleting a role removes it from the list and from the role picker on new shifts.
