  1. Go to ConsoleAttendanceRosters, choose the site and open Patterns.

  2. Select New pattern. Start from a ready-made one under Start from, or build your own.
  3. Set The cycle: each day a shift template or Off. Give the pattern a Name and select Save pattern.
  4. Put people on it from a date, and choose the day of the cycle They start on, so a rotation covers every day.
  5. Go back to Planner and select Publish when the shifts look right.

Good to Know

  • Agoo keeps the roster filled from your patterns eight weeks ahead.
  • Days you changed by hand stay as you left them.
  • Once a pattern's shifts are published, the new days it makes as time passes are published too.
  • Each person is on one pattern at a time.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • "A pattern needs at least one working day". Make at least one day in the cycle a shift.
  • Shifts from a pattern aren't showing to staff. You changed the pattern since you last published. Publish again.
