Add, assign, and publish jobs or shifts in QuickBooks Time Web

These features are available after you have installed the QuickBooks Time Schedule.

Notes:

• Only administrators, managers, and team members granted the "Manage schedules for their group" permission can create and assign shifts.
• Team members can create shifts for themselves if they have been granted the "Manage schedule > Their own" permission.
• It is not necessary to assign team members when creating a shift.
• Draft shifts display in white. Published shifts display in their selected colour.
• Clicking Publish saves the shift and publishes it to the assigned team members' and their managers' calendars.
• When a shift is added, changed, or deleted, all team members assigned to that shift are notified, and all of their calendars are updated.
• Unassigned shifts display on your calendar (not team member calendars), in the top row, when you select Full and Day or Week.
• A time off shift will appear in the schedule when a time off timesheet is created.
• Total hours scheduled for a team member or job/customer can be seen in the far left column if, in View Settings, "Show hour totals" is selected.
• Daily hour totals display in the column headings. Team member hour totals display in the far left column. These totals are only visible to admins and schedule managers.
• On the calendar, dot colours indicate:
  • Green: On the clock
  • Orange: On a break

To access the schedule calendar, after installing the add-on, go to Schedule.
