Smart Shift Scheduling
From shift creation to self-service signup to trade workflow — Resgrid handles the full scheduling lifecycle.
Flexible Shift Creation
Create shifts with names, codes, colors, and start/end times. Assign groups, define role requirements, and select active dates. Supports both assigned and signup-based scheduling.
Self-Service Signup
Personnel browse available shift days, see open spots by role, and sign up directly. Multi-group signup lets members cover shifts at any station when enabled.
Shift Trades
Full trade workflow: request a trade, propose alternate days, accept or reject with reasons, and complete the swap. Every step fires events and notifications to keep everyone informed.
Shift Calendar
Visual calendar view with color-coded shift days, fill status indicators, and signup counts. View all shifts at once or drill into a single shift's schedule.
Shift-Based Dispatch
When enabled, group dispatch targets automatically swap to on-duty shift personnel. Auto-set status for dispatched shift members so they're immediately marked responding.
Staffing & Readiness Reports
Analyze shift fulfillment across all groups and roles. See who is assigned, who signed up, and where gaps remain — before the shift starts.
Shift Configuration & Scheduling
Create shifts with all the details your department needs — name, short code, color for calendar display, and precise start/end times. Assign station groups with per-group role requirements (how many of each role you need). Then select exact dates the shift is active.
- Shifts with name, code, color, and time range
- Assign one or more station groups per shift
- Per-group role requirements (e.g., 2 Drivers, 1 Officer)
- Pre-assign specific personnel to groups
- Flexible date selection for active shift days
- Edit details, days, and groups independently
- Audit events on create, update, and delete
Signup, Trades & Swaps
Personnel view available shift days, check role needs, and sign up for their station or (with multi-group enabled) any station. The trade system handles the full lifecycle: request, propose, accept/reject, and complete — all with event-driven notifications at every step.
- Self-service shift signup with role-based visibility
- Multi-group signup (configurable per department)
- View open needs and fulfillment per shift day
- Trade request → propose → accept/reject → complete workflow
- Notifications at every trade step (push, email, SMS)
- 'Your Shifts' view shows upcoming signups and open trades
Calendar, Staffing & Dispatch Integration
The shift calendar displays all shift days (and workshifts) in a color-coded view with fill status. Staffing views let admins assign personnel per-day per-group. When shift-based dispatch is enabled, dispatching to a group automatically routes to on-duty shift personnel instead.
- Color-coded calendar with fill status indicators
- Per-shift and all-shifts calendar views
- Workshift integration on the same calendar
- Admin staffing assignment per day per group
- Shift-based dispatch auto-substitutes group → shift personnel
- Auto-set configurable status on shift dispatch
- Readiness reporting across groups and roles
