Create and edit shifts

Guide

Add shifts to the roster on the web or in the mobile app, with a role, times, breaks and a note, then edit or delete them.

Add shifts to the roster, then change or delete them as the week firms up.

On the web

Add a shift

  1. Click Roster in the top bar.
  2. Hover over the day on the member's row and click the + that appears.

  1. If the member has a role here, pick it from the dropdown at the top. A role with default hours or breaks fills them in.
  2. Set the start and finish times. The shift's hours, less the meal break, show beside them.
  3. Choose a length for Rest break (paid) and Meal break (unpaid), or pick Custom to type up to 240 minutes.
  4. Under Apply to, click any other days that week that need the same shift.
  5. Type a note into Add shift notes if the member needs one.
  1. Click Save.
Note: A new shift is a draft, shown in pale yellow, until you publish the roster. Members don't see it in their shifts until then.

Edit or delete a shift

  1. Click the shift on the roster.
Note: If Timble says the shift can only be edited from another department view or role section, switch to that view first.
  1. Change what you need and click Save. Any extra days you pick under Apply to get a copy.
  2. To remove the shift, click Delete instead. The web doesn't ask you to confirm.
