Beta fix & polish – released
Persistent info panel

+ 65 more other fixes
More employees, fill-in finder – in development
Single UX and workflow for finding an employee
- Currently too many different experiences for finding an employee for a shift. More employees, fill-in finder & batch shift
- Consolidation of experiences as the goal and questions are the same
- UX will be consistent between more employees, offer, offer review, batch assign and future state bulk edit
Roster actions – in development
Ready to action information
- Modular action cards shown in edit and info panels
- Actionable from any location
- Actions covered include swap, cover, drop, shift confirmation and fill-ins
- “What if” analysis done on swap, cover and drop
- Future state to-do list will further drive quick actioning
Shift batches in the new roster builder – in development
Enabling batch users to use new roster builder
- Now a ‘groups of shifts’
- Bringing shift batches into the new roster builder enables us to move across to the new roster builder sooner
- In response to customer feedback, this is an opportunity to iron out creases in the current process
- Takes advantage of the same UX as the more employees allowing a single panel for multi-assign and multi-edit
- Future state of unlinking shifts has been considered

These signals will be used to highlight issues which adhere to business objectives & to draw the rostering manager into the different modes to rectify
