Planning and publishing a week
How a draft becomes a schedule your staff can see.
For owners, admins and schedulers
Plan first, publish second
A planned week is yours alone. Nobody is notified, nothing appears on anybody's phone, and you can move things around freely.
Publishing is the moment it becomes real: staff see their shifts, and changes after that point notify the people affected.
- Open Schedule and choose New week, or use a rotation you have already built.
- Pick the roles and how many of each you need per shift.
- Preview — this shows what would be created before anything is.
- Create the shifts, fill them, then press Publish.
What happens to a published week when you change it
Nothing is retroactively enforced. If you tighten a work rule on Thursday, the week you published on Monday stays exactly as it is — the rules apply when somebody is assigned, not continuously.
In the app this lives at /app/schedule.
