Go to ConsoleAttendanceRosters, choose the site and open Open shifts and swaps.
- Look under Waiting for a decision and Swaps waiting for a decision. Each shows both people, the shifts and any warnings.
- Select Approve, or Decline and write a Reason they'll see.
Approving changes the roster at once, with no publish needed. Both people are told.
Good to Know
- You can also decide on your phone, in Agoo Workspace's Team tab under Approvals.
- Warnings, such as the Labour Act's rest rules, never stop you. You decide.
- Offered, not taken lists offers no one has taken yet. Decided lately shows recent decisions.
- Who approves swaps and claims is set in ConsoleAttendanceSettings, under Who approves swaps and Who approves claims for open shifts.
If Something Goes Wrong
- Approving is refused. The person taking the shift now has another shift at that time.
- A swap disappeared. It expired when the shift started, or it was called off because the shift changed in the planner.
