You can build as many weeks ahead as you like. Each week is scheduled and published on its own, so you can work on next week, or next month, while this week is already live for your team.
Getting There
Click Schedule in the left navigation. Click any day in the calendar on the left to open that week.
Building Several Weeks
Click a day in the first week you want to build.
Add shifts, or use the tools under Build this week: Add Required Shifts, Copy From Past Week, Schedule Templates, or AI Auto Schedule.
Click a day in the next week and repeat.
Publish each week when it's ready by clicking Publish (number) while viewing that week.
Nothing in a week is visible to employees until you publish that week.
💡 The fastest way to fill several weeks is a Schedule Template. Save a good week once, then apply it to each new week in a few clicks.
Copying a Week Forward
Go to the week you want to reuse.
Click Tools → Copy Week.
Go to a future week and click Paste. Repeat for as many weeks as you need.
Rotating Schedules
If your schedule alternates, such as different weekend crews every other week, save a template for each week of the rotation ("Rotation – Week 1", "Rotation – Week 2") and apply them in order to each new week. See Schedule Templates.
Separate Schedules for Each Department
Use the Departments filter to build and publish each department on its own. See Scheduling by Department.
On Mobile
On the Schedule tab, use the arrows next to the week dates to move between weeks. Tap the blue + button to add shifts, copy a past week, apply a template, or publish the week you're viewing.
Common Questions
Can I schedule a two-week pay period?
Build and publish each week of the period. For a repeating two-week pattern, save each week as its own template.
Will employees see future weeks before I publish them?
No. Employees only see weeks, and changes, that you've published.
How do I know which weeks still have unpublished changes?
Go to the week. If it has unpublished changes, the Publish (number) button appears in the top right. Days with unpublished shifts are also marked on the Month view.
