Building a Cover Flow for Missed Shifts
The article discusses the development of a cover flow feature for managing missed shifts in a scheduling system. The author emphasizes the importance of clearly distinguishing between a shift that needs coverage and a canceled shift. Key considerations include making the shift visible to owners and simplifying the staff interface to ensure ease of use.
- ▪The cover flow feature aims to address shifts that need coverage rather than treating them as cancellations.
- ▪Owners should easily identify which shifts require immediate attention without sifting through the entire schedule.
- ▪The staff interface is designed to be straightforward, allowing users to quickly understand their actions regarding available shifts.
