With Combo, scheduling is a piece of cake ! Let me explain you how to do so in a few steps πŸ‘

1) Creating a shift (or a time slot)

  • Hover your mouse over a white rectangle and click on the "+" that appears

  • Fill in the desired information (label, hours, break time, meal type, personal note for the employee)

  • Repeat this shift as needed on one or more days of the week

  • Click on : create !


2) Creating a split shift

  • Go back to the box of the shift you have just created and click on the "+" which appears at the bottom.

  • Indicate the desired information for this second shift, you can also repeat this shift as needed on one or more days of the week

  • Click on : create !


3) Creating an absence or a weekly rest

  • Hover your mouse over a white rectangle and click on the "+" that appears

  • Click on "New absence"

  • Fill in the desired information (type of time off, date or time slot, personal note for the employee or in order to give more information)

  • Click on : create

πŸ’‘ A time off can be added over half a day even if there is already a time slot scheduled on that day.

πŸ’‘ You can personnalise the duration of a time off expressed in days (for instance paid leave, sick leave) if it doesn't suit you.


4) Moving or copying a shift (or time slot)

  • Select the desired shift and keep holding it

  • Drag the shift to the desired location : to move it, slide on the left or to duplicate it, slide on the right.


5) Handling my favorite shifts

  • Click on the "Favorites" icon ⭐️ at the top right of your schedule

  • Click and drag a shift to the favorites bar so you can add it

  • If you want to create your favorite shift directly, click on the + in the favorites tab

  • Once your favourite shifts are saved, you can drag them to your schedule to be more efficient !

πŸ’‘ Your favorites bar is specific to each team !

πŸ’‘ By default, we added the weekly rest absence in your favorites bar : a big time saver for your planning !


6) Adding an overall note for my team

  • Click on the date of the schedule to add a note visible to your entire team

πŸ’‘ If it is one of your employees birthday πŸ₯³, a cake will appear in the notes section ! πŸŽ‚


7) Duplicating my schedule

  • At the top right, click on the "Duplicate the week" icon (to the left of the "Publish schedule" button)

  • Select the employees for whom you wish to duplicate the schedule, as well as the required week.s.

  • Validate


8) Publishing my schedule

  • Once your schedule is ready, you can click on "Publish schedule" at the top right

  • Choose the week.s and team.s you want to publish

  • Publish! Your employees will receive their schedules by e-mail and will be able to consult them on their mobile app (if you invited them).

You are now a true master of Combo πŸŽ‰
