Post an Open Shift

Put up a shift with nobody on it, for staff who can work it to ask for in Agoo Workspace.

  1. Go to ConsoleAttendanceRosters and choose the site.

  2. Drag a template into the Open shifts row at the top of the planner. Or select someone's shift and choose Make it an open shift.
  3. Select Publish. Everyone who can take it is told in Agoo Workspace.
  4. Decide the requests in Open shifts and swaps: approve one and the shift is theirs, and the others are told it's gone.

Good to Know

  • Only people on attendance at the site who are free at that time, and not on leave, can take it.
  • If you choose The first to ask gets it, there's nothing to decide: the first person to ask gets the shift.
  • You can still give the shift to someone yourself by putting them on it in the planner and publishing.
  • Open shift notices go only to Agoo Workspace, never by email or text.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • Nobody can see the open shift. It isn't published yet, or staff may not ask for open shifts. Check the swap and open shift settings.
  • "Nobody asked yet". Nobody free at that time has asked. Give it out yourself in the planner.
