AI Auto Schedule fills out the week you're viewing. It can add the shifts the week is missing and assign employees to open shifts using availability, time off, preferences, and your scheduling history. Anything already scheduled is kept, and nothing is published until you publish.
How to Build a Week With AI
Click Schedule in the left navigation and go to the week you want to build.
Optional: apply a Schedule Template or Copy From Past Week first to give AI a starting point.
Optional: use the Departments filter to build one department at a time.
Click AI Auto Schedule under Build this week on the left.
Check the options you want: add missing required shifts, add shifts your recent weeks usually had, and assign employees to open shifts.
Click Build schedule.
Review the week, make any changes, then click Publish.
On Mobile
On the Schedule tab, move to the week you want, tap the blue + button, tap AI Auto Schedule, and confirm.
