Publishing to the Shift Pool

If you have empty, available shifts that need to be picked up, sharing to the Shift Pool is the way to go.

In this article, we'll cover how to share open shifts with your team.

Important
Team members will only see shifts in the Shift Pool for their assigned teams. For example, a Front Desk team member will only be eligible to pick up Front Desk shifts. Make sure that all of your team members are assigned to the correct teams, and that your shifts are also assigned to the right team as well!

Publishing Multiple Shifts to the Shift Pool

If you have multiple unassigned shifts, you will be able to share them directly to the Shift Pool while publishing your team schedule!

1) In the Scheduling Planner, open your Toolbox (the Magic Wand icon) and select "Publish."

2) In the popup summary that appears, you will see the number of unassigned shifts. Click on the checkbox that says "Add X Shifts to Pickup Pool."

3) Click "Publish." Your team members will now receive a Prospr notification that new shifts have been added to the Shift Pool that they are eligible to pick up for their schedule.

Publishing a Single Shift to the Shift Pool Gantt View

If you have just one shift to put in the Shift Pool, you can easily do that using Gantt view.

1) Next to the unassigned shift, click on the calendar icon.

2) Check the box that says "Release to Pickup Pool."

3) Click "Publish!"

Publishing a Single Shift to the Shift Pool Grid View

If you only have one shift to publish to the Shift Pool, you can easily do so using Grid View.

1) Search for the unassigned shift you want to publish.

2) Hover your mouse pointer over the unassigned shift, then click the three dots located at the upper-right corner.

3) Click the calendar icon that says Publish.

4) Click “Publish!”
