Schedulers rejoice! The days of excel sheets, whiteboards, and cork boards are over, Horrray! You can still keep that stuff but you won't need it for your staff scheduling anymore. Why you ask? Because you have SkedX now!

Before setting up your schedule there are a few things I'd like to touch upon just to give you a better understanding of the layout. 

Within the Options table

- The ability to schedule as many weeks ahead as you wish

- Select the department you wish to schedule

- Sort your employees by seniority (position title), wage (descending order) , name (alphabetical by last name) and full timers.

- Copy last week's Schedule

If your schedule is the same from the previous week, select the copy last weeks schedule button in the Options table. By doing so, the system will transfer all the information from the previous shifts into your current week. Be sure to review any changes before finalizing the schedule.

Entering Schedules

- The availability is colour coordinated for you employees

Green: Available all day

Yellow: Specified availability (click on cell to view the available time.)

Red: Unavailable

- The drop down menu allows the scheduler to select which position or job the staff will be working for that day (you will need to set those positions prior in order to have those option)

- To enter a shift for your employee just move the coin sliders for the desired hours (i.e 9am-5pm) the weekly totals will automatically tally up as you enter in shifts.

Once you're satisfied with the schedule click the "Publish Schedule" button. Doing this will send the updated schedule to your employees

If you are not finished your schedule and are not ready to finalize, your times will automatically be saved and will be there the next time you log in.

If you have finalized a schedule but need to make adjustments, simply make your adjustments and click Publish Schedule again. An email will be sent to the affected employees with the changes.
