Keep track of your staffing needs and assignments via Staff Scheduling
Staff Schedules provide the ability to manage staff scheduling within Procare, including:
- Schedule creation
- Assign schedules to staff members
- Staff schedule updates/changes
- Print or share schedule as PDF
When navigating to Staff > Schedule, the current week will display with the dates in the top row and staff members listed in the first column. Along with the staff member's name, the total scheduled hours will display below.
Search/Filter Options
Use the Search field to search by staff name or use the filter icon to filter staff by Room. Important: When filtering by Room, only staff members assigned to the selected room will display (this can be updated on the Staff Management > Staff screen in each staff profile).
Updating Staff Scheduling Permissions
On a Staff Profile, under Role and Permissions, locate the Staff Scheduling permission and set each staff member to the correct permission:
- No Access – staff will not be able to see the schedule.
- Read – Staff can only view the schedule.
- Full Access – allows staff to edit the schedule.
