Overview
There are two main types of schedule switches that you can request - a replacement, where one person is giving a shift to another person, or trades, where two people are swapping the shifts they’re assigned.
REPLACEMENT REQUESTS:
If you are trying to get rid of a shift that you are assigned to, you can click on that shift in the schedule, and a dialog will appear with a number of different options. From here, select the Ask others to replace you tab on the left.
In this tab, you will be shown options to either get rid of the entire shift, or to keep a portion of the shift and get rid of the rest. After selecting which portion of the shift you want to get rid of, check the options that appear in the People to ask list.
PEOPLE HERE WILL BE BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE GROUPS:
Available: These people are good options, as they should be available to take the shift.
Maybe Available: These people can be sent a request, though there may be reasons such as requested time off why these people might not be able to take the shift.
Not Available: These people are not able to take the shift due to a conflict like an overlapping shift they’re already assigned to. People marked as Not Available can not be sent a request.
From this list, you can select individual people to send the request to, or use the options beneath the list to select people based on their availability to take the shift:
After you’ve selected the people that you want to send the request to, click the Send Request button at the bottom of the dialog to send the request.
Once your request has been submitted, you will see a confirmation message at the top of the screen, and the shift that you’re looking for a replacement for will be outlined on the schedule in orange.
