Roster Templates

Using roster templates can make your rostering life easier, whether you have staff working set days and shifts, set shifts that need to be allocated to staff, or just need to add a standard roster into the system as a guide for your timesheets!
In this article we will be covering the different methods of how roster templates can be formed:

• Set staff and shifts
• Set shift times with no staff
• Set staff/shift and set shift times.

Creating a Template

• On the Roster home screen, click the Rosters drop menu in the top right.
• Select Templates.
• Click Create New and select one of the following options:
  • Blank Roster - to start with an empty template
  • Template from Previous - use an existing roster to pre-fill your template.
  • Template from Template - use an existing template to pre-fill a new template.
• For this example we'll be working with a blank roster and build it from scratch.
  • Note: You can create multiple roster templates, but if your roster rotates, please check our guide on Rotation Templates.
• Give the template a name and click Done to generate.

• • HANDY TIP: Use the Copy From menu in the bottom right to copy data from day to day, a previous roster, another template and more!

Set Staff and Shifts

Thankfully this aspect of creating a template is identical to basic roster creation.

• Select the day to create shifts on.
• Click the Add button in the bottom right hand corner; a shift row will be created.
• On the shift row, click (Select Staff)
• Tick the boxes next to the names of the employees who will always be working this day.
• Add the desired shift start and finish times for each employee.
• Click Save.
• Repeat for each day, or use the Copy From tool.

Be sure to click Save as you build!

Set Shifts with No Staff

This method of building is still very similar to basic roster creation but there is a slight variation.

• Select the day to create shifts on.
• Click the Add button in the bottom right hand corner multiple times; add as many rows as you need for that day.
• Add the desired shift start and finish times.
• Click Save.

Set Staff/Shifts and Shifts with No Staff

This method is a hybrid of basic roster creation and set shifts with no names.
