The ability to save schedules allows a manager to create schedules that can be finalized and shared at a later date.  

While a manager can make changes to any schedule that has already been finalized, the ability to create a schedule that can be modified before it is finalized, allows a manager to review and account for potential disruptions ahead of time.  

Since there is no limit to the number of saved schedules that can be created, a manager can plan ahead and then save time by simply making small adjustments before finalizing a schedule.  

This help document will take through the process for saving and finalizing schedules. 

Saving Schedules

Each time you create a schedule, you will have the option to:

  • Save Only - Temporarily saves the schedule as a working schedule that can be finalized at any time; or
  • Save & Finalize - Saves the schedule and shares it immediately with relevant employees
