Scheduling
Schedule building, coverage and rotations.
Rotations fill the calendar, the builder handles the day, and the week view shows every seat at once, for patrol cars, dispatch positions, apparatus and medic units.
Schedule builder
Daily schedule builder
The builder is one day at a time, for the units a supervisor leads. The shift header keeps a running count of people and seats against the minimum, and turns red when the shift is short.
- Drag a person onto a seat, between seats, or off the shift
- Tap-to-place on a phone
- People on leave shown on their seat, and not counted
- Call someone in from the not-scheduled list
Week view
Week view by position
Anyone can look at any unit’s week. Supervisors click a day to open it in the builder. The month calendar and each person’s own schedule read from the same data.
- Grouped by shift, then by seat
- Open seats and short days flagged
- Posted open shifts with a sign-up button
- Printable for the wall
