Two Shift Types — Complete Flexibility
The visual scheduler gives you complete control over your guard roster with two distinct shift types designed for different scheduling needs.
📋 Normal Shift
A shift created and assigned directly to a specific guard. The guard sees it in their app and knows exactly when and where they're working.
- Assigned directly to a specific guard
- Visible only to the assigned guard
- Perfect for planned schedules
- Regular shifts, permanent assignments
🔓 Open Shift
A shift created without an assigned guard. Available for any eligible, available guard to claim or be assigned to.
- No guard assigned initially
- Visible to all eligible guards
- Perfect for covering gaps
- Extra hours, last-minute coverage
