Rota helps you manage your team's schedules. Set working patterns (regular weekly hours), manage time off requests, and see at a glance who's available on any given day.

Go to "Rota" in the sidebar and click the "Working Patterns" tab. Click "Edit schedule" for any team member to set their default working hours for each day of the week.

Question 3

How do I add time off for a team member?

Accepted Answer

Go to the "Time Off" tab in Rota and click "Add time off". Select the team member, choose the type (holiday, sick leave, etc.), set the dates, and optionally add a reason.

Question 4

Can I see who's available on a specific day?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The "Team View" tab shows availability for the current week. You can also use AI Command Mode and ask questions like "who is available tomorrow?" or "who's working next Monday?"

Question 5

How does rota integrate with job assignment?

Accepted Answer

When assigning team members to a job, you'll see their availability status based on their working pattern and any time off. This helps you assign work to people who are actually available.

Question 6

What's the difference between working patterns and time off?

Accepted Answer

Working patterns are the default recurring weekly schedule (e.g., Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). Time off is for exceptions like holidays, sick days, or schedule modifications that override the regular pattern.
