The board — the wall, digitized
Roster board is the digital version of the roster taped up in the corridor: one column per day, each holding the day’s shift cards and the people placed on them — your own name weighted so you find yourself first. An under-staffed session carries a hole marker.
It is read-only for everyone — schedulers included. Every change happens in the planner workspace, where the full consequence of an edit is visible; a wall that is half-editable is only confusing.
- A roster not yet published, still Draft, is the scheduler’s worksheet — ordinary read tiers never see it, so the roster you see is the settled one.
- Home’s Right now card shows Today’s shift; with none today it shows your next one, and with none in the next seven days, “No shift scheduled this week.” — Published rosters only.
Availability — your half of the bargain
Availability is where you tell the scheduler “avoid these days”: press Declare, pick a day and a level (Can’t work or Prefer not), and add a reason if you like. Declared days are listed on the page; Withdraw, then Confirm withdraw, removes one.
