Searching for Shifts

The search functionality within RosterApps permits supervisors to filter shifts based on dates, work groups, specific skills, and the scheduling status of employees. Utilizing this feature enables supervisors to accurately determine which employees are scheduled to work on a particular day.

To search for shifts:

• Click the Search tab.
• RosterApps directs you to the Employee Search page.
  

• Use the different sections of this page to specify which shifts to search for. Below is a list of the search criteria you can choose from, with descriptions. You do not need to enter inputs for all sections on this page, only the ones you want to search for.

  • Show me: Select the time period you want to view shifts for with the date selectors. Enter the start date in the From Date selector and the end date in the To Date selector. If you want to search for shifts on a specific date, enter that date in both date selectors. You must select dates to search.

  • Show all employees in these workgroups: Check the box(es) of any work group(s) you’d like to search for. RosterApps lists all work groups for which the logged in user is supervisor for. This section is optional.

  • Only show employees: Indicate whether to search for employees scheduled to work this date/time period, or whether to search for employees not scheduled to work this date/time period. You have to select at least one box.

  • Only employees with the following skills: To view shifts with certain skills, check this box. When this box is checked RosterApps lists all available skills for your location, with checkboxes beside them. Check the box(es) of any skill(s) you want to search for. This section is optional.

• Click the blue Search button.

• RosterApps displays your search results. There are a few links on this page to note:

  • Change Criteria: Click this text link to start a new search with different search criteria.

  • Prev Window: Click this text link to view the previous time window. This time window will be the same length as the time period you selected in your search criteria.

  • Next Window: Click this text link to view the next time window. This time window will be the same length as the time period you selected in your search criteria. For example, if you searched for shifts in a seven-day time period, the Next Window link displays shifts from the following seven days.
