What Are Roster Templates

When the pop-up appears, add the roster template name

How To Apply A Roster Template

A Roster Template can be applied within the Dashboard and Activities areas. Both processes are the same.

Select Roster from the menu, and choose Dashboard or Activities
Choose Apply Template next to the activity that you wish to set up a roster for

Select one of your already created roster templates from the drop-down list.

Choose the approval period timeframe from the drop-down list of options then select Next

Now you can assign specific staff to shifts. Select the Staff Assigned drop-down to choose the team member to assign to this shift.

If a staff member’s name is not visible in the drop-down list, this will be because this staff does not have that position tag assigned to them. To ensure a staff member can be assigned shifts, they must be tagged with position or role tags. See how to assign staff tags here.
