Sign in

Tap 🔓 Unlock at the top right and enter your own email and password. The button then says 🔒 Lock.

2

Pick the day

Use the ‹ › arrows next to the date, or T for today.

Practising? Pick a day in the future. Today's real roster isn't touched.

3

Add your team

··· Tools → + Staff. Tap the new name, type it, then Save Profile.

Got a paper roster? Tools → Scan reads a photo of it. Check the names, then confirm.

Same zone daily, like a lead? Tap their name for a Usual zone, or Tools → Zone history sets them.

4

Set the shifts

Tap the shift time beside a name, type it like 9:00 - 5:00 and press Return. A grey shift block appears (or their usual zone, if they have one).

5

Paint the zones

Zones are locked so a stray tap can't change them: tap ✎ Edit zones first (it relocks after 3 idle minutes, or tap Done). Then tap a grey shift block and pick its zone, or press and hold a zone in Paint and drag it onto the block. Clear rubs out.

Short on time? Tools → Suggest zones drafts the whole day from the last 30 days. Nothing changes until you tap Apply.

6

Lunches

Tools → Generate lunches → Apply lunches. It spreads 30-minute lunches out for you and skips shifts under 6 hours.

7

Check coverage

Rows under the sheet count the people in each zone every half hour; the left shows now. Point at or tap a number to light up its zone and time (tap for names). Zone counts hides them. The orange pill flags short zones.

8

Print the backup

Tools → 🖨 Print backup. Choose A4, landscape and turn background graphics on. Keep the sheet in the office and print a new one after big changes.

Made a mistake?

Tools → ↶ Undo steps back, ↷ Redo steps forward. Reset Day clears the whole day, so avoid it.

During the day

  • Tap a break button (B1, Lunch, B2) to start its timer, and tap again when it's done.
  • When you finish, tap 🔒 Lock. Everyone can still see the roster, but only signed-in supervisors can change it.

If the iPad isn't working

  • Use the office printed sheet to see who should be where.
  • Open the same web page on the office computer or any phone. Staff on phones see a simple "who is where now" view.

Good to know

  • Top-left of the sheet: Fit puts every person on one screen, and Normal is the scrolling view.
  • Changes save by themselves. There is no Save button for the roster.
