Tips & Tricks: Schichtplanung

Bulk-fill open slots in seconds — Instead of assigning employees one shift at a time, use the bulk fill action to assign the same person (or auto-assign based on availability) to every open slot that matches a filter. What used to take 20 clicks takes two.

Open shifts let the team self-organise — Publishing a shift without an assignee turns it into an open shift that eligible employees can claim. Great for flexible roles — you set the rules, the team fills the gaps.

Unclaiming has a deadline — Employees can unclaim an open shift up until the cutoff you configure. After that, the shift is locked to them. Set a tight deadline for shifts that need reliable coverage.

Publish partial weeks intentionally — You don't have to finalise the whole week before publishing. Publish Monday–Wednesday while Thursday–Friday are still being planned. Employees get notified only for the days you release.

Reuse shift patterns across locations — Shift patterns (recurring weekly templates) can be applied to any location. Build one solid weekly template and push it to multiple sites rather than rebuilding the schedule from scratch each time.
