What do the colored flags on the schedule mean?
The colored flags on the 7shifts schedule are Shift Flags. They're added manually by a manager or automatically based on employee time clock activity. 7shifts uses Shift Flags to track attendance events without deleting or modifying the original shift, so the schedule stays accurate and attendance data appears correctly in reporting.
Each Shift Flag color indicates a different attendance event:
- Sick: The employee was marked as sick for their shift.
- Late: The employee arrived late for their shift.
- No-Show: The employee didn't show up for their scheduled shift.
- Called Off: A manager called the employee off early. The shift is flagged rather than deleted.
- Called In: The employee called in last minute. The shift is flagged as Called In for full visibility in reporting.
- Custom: A flag created by your business to track unique attendance reasons.
