What is the "Favourite Roster" functionality in RosterElf?

The "Favourite Roster" functionality allows users to save any roster as a Favourite, which can be reused as a template for future rostering. This feature includes all shift information such as positions, start and finish times, and employees, providing an efficient way to manage regular shifts.

How do I save a roster as a Favourite in RosterElf?

To save a roster as a Favourite, click the star icon on the top right of the screen, enter a name for the Favourite, and it will be saved to your account. This Favourite can be used anytime when publishing a roster, streamlining your scheduling process.

Can I include blank shifts in my Favourite Roster?

Yes, you can include blank shifts in your Favourite Roster. This allows you to lock in key employees on their regular shifts while leaving other shifts open. These empty shifts can later be filled using RosterElf’s Perfect Match tool to suggest available, qualified staff.

How does the Perfect Match tool work with Favourite Rosters?

The Perfect Match tool helps fill empty shifts in your Favourite Roster by suggesting qualified staff who are available to work at those times. This feature ensures that you can efficiently complete your roster by assigning the best-suited employees to open shifts before publishing.

What are the benefits of using the Favourite Roster feature?

The Favourite Roster feature saves time by allowing users to quickly reuse a predefined roster template. It helps maintain consistency in scheduling regular shifts for key employees and simplifies the process of filling in additional shifts, improving overall rostering efficiency.

Where can I find more information about using the Favourite Roster feature?

RosterElf Updates

min read · May 01, 2017

Rostering staff with RosterElf just got even easier! We are pleased to announce the launch of our new "Favourite Roster" functionality which replaces the old "Roster Template" system. This new feature is powerful and can save you even more time rostering.

Users can save any roster as a Favourite to re-use as a roster template anytime in the future.

To save a roster as a favourite, click the star icon on the top right of the screen, type a name for the favourite, and we will save it on your account to use anytime when publishing a roster in the coming weeks.

A "Favourite" will include all shift information, including positions, start and finish times and employees. However, users can also include blank shifts.

This is an excellent way of locking in your key employees on their regular shifts and using this same roster weekly.

All you will need to do is fill in the empty shifts using our Perfect Match tool, which will suggest qualified staff available to work at that time and then publish your roster! For more information on how our new Favourites rostering function works, watch our demo video: How to Use Favourites
