What are Open Shifts?

Core Use Case

The Problem  

The Solution  

Create Open Shifts

To create open shifts:

1. Go to the shifts module and select the Temp's view.
   
2. The Create Open Shifts option is available only when a job is filtered. Filter the job you’re working with to enable this feature.
   
   
3. In the Shifts tab, an Open Shift row will appear above all listed temps. Click + Shift to create Open Shifts for the selected job. Additionally, you can view the total temp matches available for the job by selecting ##Total Matches.
   
   
4. If required, apply criteria to Temp Filters to narrow down suitable temps, and click Done.
   
   
5. Click Publish & Notify to finalize and save the Open Shifts.
   
   
6. Once the Open Shifts are published, you can view the progress of the shift through a status chart. This chart breaks down the temps' responses as follows:
   
1. Pending: The number of temps yet to respond to the shift invitation.
   
2. Accepted: The number of temps who have accepted the shift.
   
3. Rejected: The number of temps who have declined the shift.
   
   

Note:

Temp acceptance settings are applicable for existing jobs, but only new jobs will have the option to create Open Shifts. This distinction ensures that the Open Shift feature is available for newly created jobs while allowing temp acceptance rules to continue for ongoing jobs. 

Please note, this change will take effect after the beta version is fully released.
