Search/Filter Options

Use the Search field to search by staff name or use the filter icon to filter staff by Room. Important: When filtering by Room, only staff members assigned to the selected room will display (this can be updated on the Staff Management > Staff screen in each staff profile).

Updating Staff Scheduling Permissions

On a Staff Profile, under Role and Permissions, locate the Staff Scheduling permission and set each staff member to the correct permission:

  • No Access – staff will not be able to see the schedule.
  • Read – Staff can only view the schedule.
  • Full Access – allows staff to edit the schedule.
