The roster header
At the top you find ⋯ for further actions, “Plan week” for the planning assistant and “Shift” for a new shift. “Publish” appears as soon as drafts exist. Via ⋯ you also share the plan with “Share roster”, print it or export it to a calendar.
Create a shift
You can also drag a shift to another cell to move it. In the day view you change its length by dragging the edge.
Add a shift
- 01Open a new shift
Team → RosterSelect “Shift” or click an empty cell. A new shift starts on the visible day from 07:00 to 15:00.
The dialog opens with start and end already filled. - 02Use a template
Under “Templates”, select a button to fill the times in one click. Choose the “Department *”; the “+” next to it creates a new department directly.
Department, start and end are set. - 03Assign a person
Choose the “Assignee”. Leave the field empty if nobody is planned yet; the shift is then shown as “Open shift”. The title is optional and is taken from shift type and department.
If something is missing, the dialog shows “Missing: …”. - 04Save the draft
Select “Save draft”.
The shift appears in the plan as a draft. Staff do not see it yet.
Further settings of a shift
“More details” contains breaks, “Schedule breaks automatically”, shift type, planning role, required skill and “Keep when replanning”. “Number of weeks” repeats the shift, and “Save as shift template” adds it to “All templates”.
Check conflicts while planning
STRYK checks the rules while you edit. Approved absences of the person also appear here.
| Notice | Meaning | Your next step |
|---|---|---|
| “Please check” | Rest time, daily or weekly limit, contract hours or an availability wish is affected. | Review the notice; change the shift or keep it on purpose. |
| “Cannot be saved like this” | The shift breaks a rule that blocks saving. | Change time, person or department. |
| Approved absence | The person is absent on that day. | Assign someone else or leave the shift open. |
Copy weeks and use the assistant
Via ⋯ → “Copy previous week” you take over the shifts of a source week as drafts into the week shown. An empty week offers the same. “Copy week” copies the week shown forward. “Plan week” opens the planning assistant.
Smart planning by occupancy
Under Planning aids → Coverage, a rule such as “1 person per 12 departures, 09:00-15:00, at least 1” turns the day’s bookings into a minimum staffing level. “Plan week” and “Fill gap” then plan more people on busy days automatically.
While you change a shift, STRYK checks overlaps, absences, rest times and maximum hours at once and shows the result in the dialog. After the assistant has created the shifts, “Publish now” leads straight to the publication check; affected staff get a note in their chat.
Publish the roster
Publish drafts
- 01Start publishing
Select “Publish”. If several departments have drafts, choose one.
The department whose drafts you publish is selected. - 02Review the check
Select “Next”. STRYK shows the check for these drafts.
No blocking conflict remains. - 03Publish
Select “Publish”.
The shifts are published and the staff concerned are notified.
Swaps and wishes
Via ⋯ → “Swaps and wishes” you see open shifts, swap requests and availability wishes. For a swap, both colleagues agree first; then the responsible manager decides. Wishes help with planning, but they are not approved absences and do not block shifts.
