Approvals on Workforce Schedules

As a schedule manager, you can quickly review, approve, or reject requests directly on your workforce schedules. This approach provides context and the relevant details so that you can take the appropriate action without disrupting your scheduling workflow. Click Requests (X) on the schedule to open a drawer showing all pending requests for the selected period: day, week, or 2 weeks.

  • Requests are grouped by type: Open Shifts, Drop, Swap, and Cover.

  • View, approve, or reject the request. Each request is linked to the schedule and every time you click a request, the shift is highlighted on the schedule.

This feature enhances efficiency because it reduces time and effort required to manage worker requests, which are centralized in one location. It also contextualizes decision making because you can see request details and the shift on the schedule at the same time.
