Adding shifts

To add a shift, click in a blank cell on the rota and fill out the details in the 'Add Shift' window. To add the time of the shift, type in the field next to the clock symbol (see GIF below). You can also select a role for the shift, add break time, and choose to publish the shift immediately.

Example shift time formats:

RotaCloud will recognise shift times in various formats, including:

  • 10 am to 6pm

  • 11.30 am - 6.15 pm

  • 0900 til 1700

  • 0900 - 6pm

Removing shifts

To delete a shift from the rota, hover over the shift and click the 'X' that appears. You will be prompted to confirm whether or not you would like to delete the shift. 

To quickly delete shifts without requiring confirmation, hold 'Alt' and click the 'X' at the same time.

Editing shifts

To edit a shift, click on the shift in question and change the details. Then click 'Save'.

You can see a history of the changes made to a shift from the Edit Shift box, by clicking the 3 dots in the top-right, then 'History'.
