Publish a team calendar

Use the Plan tab to publish assigned team shifts in a calendar. Calendar shifts that you plan are not live until you choose to publish them. Published calendar shifts are displayed in the Manage tab.

Before you can publish a calendar shift, ensure that you have worked through the following processes in the Plan tab:

  1. Select a work area or add a new work area. Each shift is held in a work area and a calendar. For example, work areas could be ‘London’, ‘Manchester’ and ‘Birmingham’.
  2. Select a calendar or add a new calendar. Each calendar holds team shifts made up of employees. Within ‘Manchester’, list calendars for ‘Headquarters’ and ‘Factory’.
  3. Import a team and team shift pattern into the calendar.
  4. Add team resource (employees) to the imported calendar shift.

Note: If you are republishing a calendar, variance data may be lost. Only annual leave for full days or multi days and absences are transferred to republished calendars.
