How to create a schedule

Adding a Shift



Creating schedules and sharing them with your team helps streamline operations. With Easyteam, you can quickly create, share, print, and view schedules directly in Shopify POS in just a few steps.



➡️ Go to the Schedules screen.


By default, the schedule displays a single week. Each column represents a day of the week, and each row represents an employee.



➡️ Use the drop-down menu in the top-right corner of the screen to switch between weekly and monthly views.



➡️ Use the date picker to select the week you want to view or edit.




➡️ In the weekly view, hover over an empty cell. A “+” button will appear - click it to add a shift for that employee on that date.



In the Monthly View, click on an empty space within the desired day to create a shift.

➡️ Set the Start time, End time, and location of the shift.


The selected dates and times will automatically follow your location’s time zone settings.



➡️ Optionally, select a color for the shift from the dropdown selection box.


➡️ Click on the Save button.


The new shift will appear on the correct date, inside the staff member's row in a draft mode.



If you are managing multiple locations, we recommend using the location picker on the top-left to filter all information by location and streamline schedule creation.



Publishing shifts


When you create a schedule, all shifts are initially saved in Draft mode. Draft shifts are visible only to Admins and Managers. Staff members assigned to the location can see the schedule only after it has been published.

The Publish Shifts button is available only when the location filter is set to a single location. If you are viewing multiple locations (or “All locations”), you must first select a single location to publish its schedule.

After clicking Publish Shifts, a pop-up window will appear with a summary of the weekly schedule and notification settings:




Choose whether to send notifications to all staff at this location or only to staff whose schedules have changed.


Once the schedule is published, staff at the location will automatically be notified by email or push notification, depending on their individual preferences.


In case you're not pleased with the draft, simply click on "Actions" button and "Revert to published". It'll revert the shifts to the existing published schedule.



If you have questions or need help setting up, don't hesitate to reach out. You can find the chat bubble in the bottom right corner ❤️
