Multi-role display Schedule view
The new optional multi-role employee display allows Managers to view employees assigned to more than one role under each role on the schedule, providing complete visibility when building schedules.
- Access the toggle anytime by navigating to the Layout dropdown top right of the Schedule > enable the Employees in every assigned role toggle within the List by Role layout.
- Spot available team members under secondary roles without switching views!
- Each role section shows all of an employee's shifts, including those scheduled under their other roles. Those shifts appear faded to distinguish them, but you can still edit shifts for roles in the same department by hovering over the shift.
