Copy last week and change what moved

Most weeks are last week with two things different. This is the whole job.

Where to do it: Your phone is fine for this. It is what the phone was built for.

The Copy button on an empty week, and the same week filled a moment later.

Step by step

  1. Open the Week screen and tap the right arrow to go to next week.

  2. Press Copy, which names the week it copies from. Every shift comes across as a draft, in the same places, with the same people.

  3. Change what is different: drag a shift to a new time, tap a name to swap who is on it, or open a shift and press Delete This Shift.

  4. Anything that came across with nobody on it shows as Needs someone. Put a name on it, or leave it open to ask around later.

  5. Press Send. Workers hear only about shifts that are new to them.

Worth knowing

  • Copy is only offered for a week that has not started yet, and only when the week before has something in it.
  • Moved a shift by accident? A Put It Back bar appears over the week. Press it and the shift goes back where it was.
  • On the phone the week is a list of days. Tap a day in the strip at the top to see it. The grid is on the laptop.
