Templates
Templates hold reusable shifts independently of a dated roster. You need the Can edit rosters permission.
Create a template
Section titled “Create a template”- Open Admin, then Templates.
- Select Add template.
- Enter a Template name and optional Description, then select Add.
- Select Edit beside the new template.
- Add shifts with their Start Time, End time, Break, Day, Role and optional note.
- Select an existing shift to change or delete it.
The template is ready to load into a roster. Its estimated cost uses role rates, but a template does not assign individual users.
Save or load a roster pattern
Section titled “Save or load a roster pattern”- While editing a roster, select Save template to save its current shifts. Enter a name and description, then select Save template. Assigned users are not saved.
- To reuse a pattern, edit the destination roster and select Load template.
- Choose the template and select Load shifts.
The template’s shifts are added to the roster. Loading a template does not delete shifts already there, so check for duplicates before publishing.
From the Templates list you can also rename, duplicate or delete a template. Deleting one cannot be undone.
