Time & Location edit

Here you can edit Date, Time & Location, and Address.

Carer edit

If you're editing a shift, it could be due to the carer being unavailable or sick, here you can select a new Carer to take the shift, click the Drop Down box to change carers.

Click the Notify Toggle to also Notify them of the assigned shift via email and in-app notification. You can read more about the full workflow here.

Like the basic view, here you can change which client the shift is for. Here you can also add Multiple Clients to the shift. Click the Client Drop Down Menu and select one or more clients. You can click the Red Remove Button next to each client to remove them, or simply click the Name in the drop down menu.

The Split Shift button allows a simple way to split a clients shift. You will notice a button next to each client and you can click Split one or more times to split the shift. Then you can edit each segment as they were individual entries. The client will be listed multiple times as well.

Time & Location Advanced Edit

The advanced Time & Location edit has all the features of basic edit, although you may also add the number of minutes of Break Time. Click the "+" or "-" next to the box to add or subtract break time.

Shift Advanced Edit

You may edit the Shift type as before and also extra advanced information.

  • Confirmation: this allows the carer to confirm if they want the shift or not. A message will be sent via Email & in-app notification. This is slightly different to the "notify" function which doesn't provide an option to confirm.

Carer Advanced Edit

As with basic edit, you can change the carer. Through advanced view you can add additional carer to have Multiple Carers on a shift.

Click the Drop Down Menu, and select the carer or carers to be assigned, you may also toggle the Notify button to let the carers know about the shift via SMS.
