Holiday requests

  2. 2Tap Approve or Deny. The person gets a notification.

Approved holidays grey out that person's days on the rota so nobody is scheduled by mistake.

Busy periods and blocked dates

  1. 1Go to Holidays → Rules.
  2. 2Under Blocked dates, pick a start and end, add a reason like "Christmas", and tap Block range. Nobody can request those dates.
  3. 3Under Allocation rules, set a Default daily limit for how many people can be off on one day, or add a Date-range rule for a busy period.

Cover requests

  1. 1Open Rota and look at Cover requests, or use the card on your Home screen.
  2. 2Tap Approve next to an offer. The shift moves to that person and everyone involved is told.
  3. 3Or tap Deny request if the shift can't be swapped.
