Configuring the Start and End fields in a shift swap or giveaway

The Start and End fields in the Swap and Give Away pop-ups can be edited by users to swap or give away portions of shifts. As a system administrator, you can disable partial shift swaps or giveaways by configuring these fields as read-only for users in specific security groups.

  1. Tap Home on the application menu.
  2. Tap Config Mode at the bottom of the application menu.
  3. Tap the second configuration icon from the left at the top of the page.
  4. Tap the security icon beside the field that you are configuring.
    In the Shift Trade - Common section, the Start and End fields are used for the source shifts in both shift swaps and giveaways. In the Shift Trade - Two Way section, the Start and End fields are used for the target shifts in shift swaps.
    The Security Configuration window is displayed.
  5. For each security group, select one of these options from the Permission Flag drop-down:
    Act
    Displays the field. This is the recommended option to allow users to trade parts of their assigned shifts.
    View
    Configures the field as read-only. This is the recommended option to restrict users to only being allowed to trade full shifts.
    Deny
    Hides the field.
  6. Tap Save and close the window.
  7. Repeat the steps above to configure the other fields as required.
  8. Tap the Settings button in the application menu to leave config mode.
  9. Reload the page for the changes to take effect.
