Flags are visual icons that can be added to shifts, either by default in the Shift Pattern Manager or on a shift-by-shift basis to allow easy identification of particular information for shifts.
❕ They do not impact your shift duration; value; who can work them or any other detail, and are purely a visual tool.
Configure Flags
To configure flags in your organisation, navigate to Rota > Rota Settings > Flags
Here you will see 57 flags, each with a unique icon. To rename a flag to something more descriptive and specific for your rota's, either double click the flag or select the blue edit pen. On this screen you will be able to rename your flags.
Adding Flags to Shifts
To add flags to shifts by default, navigate to Rota > Shift Pattern Manager > edit a shift within your pattern; select the defaults screen and choose a flag from the dropdown menu:
Alternatively you can manually add flags to one or multiple shifts in any of the rota views by first clicking your shift (💡 select multiple-shifts by holding the CTRL key on your keyboard and clicking multiple shifts) and selecting the flag icon in the toolbar...
Viewing Flagged Shifts
Once you have assigned flags, you can view & filter them by looking at the flag column:
💡 The flag column may be far to the right of your view rota screen, if you have not used this column before. Simply drag & drop columns to re-order in a way that makes most sense and is of most benefit for you. Each administrator can order columns for your own personal view.
