Manually Assigning Employees to Shifts\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Normally you would using AutoFill<\/a> to automatically assign most of your shifts. But you can manually assign shifts at any time. If some of your employees always work certain shifts (“pinned” employees<\/a>) you can assign only those employees and use\u00a0Save Template<\/a>\u00a0(so that when you Import and AutoFill in future weeks, those employees will already be assigned). You can manually assign employees when\u00a0Adding Shifts<\/a>\u00a0or later by\u00a0Editing a Shift<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note that the best way to assign shifts in our system is to use\u00a0AutoFill<\/a>\u00a0or to create an unassgined shift and then\u00a0click to edit<\/a> it\u00a0and you can see a list of available employees and which would be the best choice.<\/p>\n

You can use the\u00a0By Employee schedule view<\/a>\u00a0to quickly add a shift by clicking the cell for the employee\/date.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
