How to build a full weekly schedule

Scope note​

Scheduling actions can vary depending on your role, plan, and tenant configuration.

Why this matters​

A complete weekly schedule helps your team stay organized, reduces last-minute gaps, and gives you a clear operational view for the week ahead.

Before you start​

Make sure:

  • your employees are active
  • your client requests are entered
  • employee skills are up to date
  • availabilities are submitted
  • existing absences are already known

Steps​

  1. Go to the scheduling area for the target week.
  2. Review all open client requests.
  3. Confirm that the required skills and constraints are correct.
  4. Check employee availability and conflicts.
  5. Generate assignment proposals if needed.
  6. Review uncovered shifts and adjust manually where required.
  7. Validate the final weekly schedule.

What happens next​

Once the schedule is complete, you can send assignment proposals and confirm assignments according to your workflow.

Tips​

  • Start with the highest-priority requests first.
  • Make sure skills are maintained before building the schedule.
  • Resolve absences and time-off requests early in the process.

Troubleshooting​

Missing employees for a request​

Check skills, availability, conflicts, and employee-client compatibility.

Too many uncovered shifts​

Review whether requests are too restrictive or whether employee availability is incomplete.
