Create a slot in the planning

In Weplanify, a slot says who works, on which days, at what time, on which site and in which job; it is created as a draft, for one or several employees.

In Weplanify, the New slot window is filled from top to bottom: who, when, where; a summary at the bottom says what will be created.

New slot: Abdou Ndour, Tuesday 6, Evening shift 14:00–22:00, Entrepôt Rufisque, driver
New slot: Abdou Ndour, Tuesday 6, Evening shift 14:00–22:00, Entrepôt Rufisque, driver

Steps

  1. Click Slot in an empty cell of the grid, or ⋯ → New slot.
  2. Who: choose one or several employees, or Add a group, a site or a job to take them all at once. For a position without a name, see Open slot.
  3. When: tick the days, then choose a Shift (Morning, Day, Evening, Night) or enter start, end and break.
  4. Where: the site (by default, the employee's) and the job.
  5. Repeat: This week, or Every week to add it to the usual week. Then Create slot.

Good to know

  • The summary gives the duration, break deducted, and warns of a conflict: absence, public holiday or another slot the same day. The slot is created anyway and flagged in the grid.
  • Note, tasks and fields adds an instruction, a task list and your custom fields.
  • The slot is a draft: remember to publish.
