Managing your shifts in the Ento staff area

Taking a look at how to manage your roster and shifts in the Ento staff area

The training video below will take you through how to manage your roster and shifts within the Ento staff area.

Home page

Once you’ve logged into the staff area, you will arrive at the home page. Here you will see your schedule over the next 7 days. This page will allow you to:

  • acknowledge your shifts,
  • swap your shift
  • “drop” and “give” your shifts, depending on how your employer has set up the account.

To acknowledge, swap, drop or give your shift from this page, hover over the end of the appropriate shift and the available options will appear.

If your employer has asked you to record your start and end time of your shift from the staff area, click on the green clock in button. Once pressed it will record your GPS location and time. When you’ve finished your shift, click on the red clock out button and follow the prompts.

Calendar

To access the calendar, click on the calendar option on the left hand side to see:

  • all rostered shifts
  • available fill-in shifts
  • notes
  • pending or approved leave and unavailability (which is covered in more detail in a separate video)

Each item on your calendar will be outlined in various colours, and each is explained in the key at the bottom of the calendar.

The calendar section is a great way to get a snapshot view of what your month looks like. Ento will default to the current month, however, if you want to view future or previous month, click on the forward or back arrows at the top of the calendar.

To action an item from the calendar, click on the day which the:

  • shift
  • leave or unavailability is on, and a pop up will appear.

Once you hover to the right of the shift, leave, or unavailability, the appropriate action button will appear on the right for you to select.

Calendar Sync

An awesome feature within the Ento staff area is the ability to sync your personal calendar, if you use Gmail, Outlook or iCal.

All shifts rostered by your manager can be synced to your personal calendar once it’s connected. To do this click on the Sync button, select the appropriate option and follow the prompts.
