The shift board tab offers an overview of all assigned shifts, assisting in tracking weekly coverage and identifying potential scheduling conflicts or gaps. The tab features heatmaps that display the total number of assigned employees during the week. The colors indicate periods with varying levels of coverage – light blue for less and dark blue for more. By providing filters, the tab enables you to view specific coverage scenarios, ensuring all shifts are adequately covered. The weekly and daily coverage charts further aid in spotting scheduling conflicts or over/understaffing issues, facilitating necessary adjustments for optimal coverage.
