Quick Fix Scheduling

When building your schedule in 7shifts, labor and compliance warnings can appear for conflicts, overtime, labor exceptions, and unassigned shifts. The Quick Fix feature can attempt to automatically reassign those shifts so your schedule stays compliant and labor costs stay in check.

Things to Know

• Access to the Quick Fix feature may require an upgrade from your current plan.
• Shifts can only be reassigned to employees who are assigned to that specific role in their employee profile.

Using Quick Fix Scheduling

1. Click the Warnings button in the top-right corner of the Schedule page to open the warnings dropdown.

2. Click 'Fix them for me' at the bottom of the dropdown.

   

3. 7shifts processes the changes that it can make. This only takes a moment.
4. Once complete, click Go to my schedule to review the updated schedule.

How Quick Fix reassigns shifts

When reassigning shifts, 7shifts evaluates each employee against the following conditions before making a change:

• Whether the employee is already scheduled that day.
• Whether the shift would create a "clopen" (closing shift followed by an opening shift).
• Whether the shift would put the employee close to overtime or exceed the consecutive days limit set in Company Settings.
• Whether the shift conflicts with any pending or approved time off.
• Whether the shift conflicts with the employee's availability.
• Whether the shift would trigger any labor exceptions based on your jurisdiction, if using Advanced Labor Compliance.
• The role and shift times the employee has been scheduled in the past.

If warnings remain after Quick Fix

If any shifts could not be automatically resolved, 7shifts displays a warning message after processing is complete. Not all warnings can be resolved automatically — some may require manual review.

1. Click Review my schedule to see which shifts still have warnings.

2. Make any manual adjustments needed, then publish the schedule when ready.

Next steps

After resolving warnings, publish the schedule from the top-right corner of the Schedule page. To learn more about compliance warnings and what each warning type means, see Scheduling with Compliance.
