How to Build Your First Staff Roster
Put it all together and publish your first week's schedule.
1 min read
With your location, hours, shift patterns, and staff all set up, you're ready to build your first roster.
Two ways to fill the week
- Auto-generate — one click builds a fair week based on your staffing rules. See "How to Auto-Generate a Staff Schedule" for details.
- Manual assignment — click any cell on the roster grid and choose a shift pattern from the popover.
Most people start with auto-generate, then make small manual adjustments from there.
Reviewing before publishing
Check the coverage indicator at the bottom of each day's column — it'll show Good, Low, or Gap based on how many staff you've scheduled compared to your target. Adjust anything you like; nothing is final until you publish.
Publishing
When you're happy with the week, click Publish roster. Every staff member with an email on file gets a schedule email automatically.
