Filling open shifts

Open a shifts workspace, filter for unassigned work, broadcast to qualified staff, use recommendations, and track acceptance.

Operational question

How does an open shift move from uncovered work to a confirmed assignment?

Before Teambridge

Schedulers are looking at a shift that has no assigned worker and need to decide whether to broadcast broadly, target a smaller qualified group, or use recommendations.

After setup

The shift has a clearer path to coverage: eligible workers are contacted, responses are visible, and the final assignment is tied back to the shift record.

Setup you should understand

  • A Shifts collection with start time, end time, role, location, and assignee fields
  • Worker records with role, location, availability, and communication details
  • A workspace tab for unassigned or open shifts
  • Broadcast or recommendation rules for eligible recipients

What to watch for

  • The shift workspace is the operating surface
  • Eligibility comes from linked worker, role, and location data
  • Outreach and assignment stay connected to the same record
  • The admin can compare broad broadcast with targeted recommendations

Video takeaways

The main ideas to retain after watching

  • Filter open shifts
  • Broadcast to eligible workers
  • Use recommendations
  • Assign after acceptance
