In this article you will learn about assignment statuses, including how to change statuses, how it works in the mobile app, and settings to make them match your process.
What Are Assignment Statuses?
By default, every worker assignment has an Assignment Status. This allows a worker to Confirm or Decline an assigned work shift. This is helpful for companies that employ a casual workforce so that they can see from the Scheduler which workers have confirmed their shifts. Companies that do not want to allow workers to Confirm or Decline work can disable this feature in settings.
Update Assignment Statuses on Web
You can manually update assignment statuses for your workforce from the scheduler.
You can update all allocations for the entire order by clicking the 3 dot menu next to the order name on the timeline view and clicking Update Assignment Statuses, from there you can choose the status.
You can also change the allocation status for workers in a shift or for an individual user by using the corresponding menus on a shift card.
Assignment Status Settings
In Settings you are able to set the default status for an Allocation. So, if you would like all Allocations to be automatically confirmed, simply choose that option. You are also able to set up email notifications when workers choose to Decline a shift. You can customize this message and add email addresses where the notifications should be sent.
