You can perform the following navigation tasks within all views:

Hiding and showing the Navigation panel

Hiding and showing the Schedule Details panel

Navigating to another schedule view

Select the view you want to use from the View drop-down in the Toolbar panel.

Viewing a schedule for another date range and team

For detailed information about viewing schedules, see Loading Schedules.

Note: Shift pattern employees in default jobs always display.

Note about empty schedules: If you scroll to a date range that is far into the future where a schedule has not yet been created, you will see empty schedules. An empty schedule contains staffing requirements, jobs, and shift patterns, but does not contain any individually assigned shifts (scheduled times). To fill an empty schedule, the supervisor must manually create unstaffed shifts and/or manually assign employees to unstaffed shifts.

Narrowing down the team view

To narrow the team view:

  1. Select the teams you want to view from the Teams list.
  2. To include sub-teams, select the Include sub-teams check box.
  3. Click Load Schedule.

Upon refresh, the system displays the retrieved schedule in the Schedule panel for the selected team(s) only.

Collapsing and expanding a part of a schedule

Initially, all levels of the schedule are collapsed. You can either expand the schedule sections individually or all at once. Sections that you can expand and collapse include teams, day parts, employees, unassigned employees, jobs, and job times.

To expand and collapse a schedule section individually:

  1. Click the name of the collapsed section (marked with a + symbol) to expand it.

    For example, in the Scheduled Team view, to expand a team’s section, click the team name.

  2. Click the name of the expanded section (marked with a - symbol) to collapse it.

Collapsing and expanding the entire schedule

Initially, all levels of the schedule are collapsed. You can either expand the schedule sections individually or all at once.

To expand/collapse a schedule all at once:

  1. Click Schedule to expand the entire schedule.
  2. Click Schedule again to collapse the entire schedule.
