Dashboard elements
With enough published roster data, you will have a Roster Dashboard that looks something like the below. As an overview, there are seven distinct elements that make up the dashboard.
Current date and time
Auto-refresh 30-second countdown timer (clickable for manual refresh)
Base
Rosterable Department (defined in Setup > Operations > Rostering Setup)
Finished shift (denoted with a check mark on the top-right of a shift block, when Shift End time has surpassed)
Active shift (currently counting down; shows time before Shift End)
Pending shift (Shift Start time is in the future)
Shift block elements
Zooming in to a shift, this is what it can display:
Duty Period Shift Code and Shift Start time (hover for more details)
Personnel name
First available contact number (mobile number shown)
The order of precedence is mobile first, then alternative, then phone number
No element is visible if neither contact number fields are populated on the personnel profile
Roster Personnel Note
See Roster Personnel Notes in the Roster Dashboard for more details
Shift Note (hover for more details)
Active shift countdown timer (time until Shift End; hover for more details)
The countdown timer is only visible if the current time is on or within the shift’s Start Time
A check mark is visible instead if the current time has surpassed the shift’s End Time
No element is visible in this location if neither of the above conditions are met (i.e., the shift’s Start Time is in the future)
Phone number (if present on personnel profile; hover for more details)
Alternative number (if present on personnel; hover for more details)
