With ScheduleAnywhere, everything you need to schedule your employees is right at your fingertips.
Your employees' names are listed along the left side of the screen. If your employees work in departments,
or have specific positions, this information appears next to the employee's name. The Total Hours column
shows you how many hours an employee is scheduled and helps reduce overtime.
Schedule your employees within the scheduling worksheet. Separate groups of employees by adding dividers
to your schedule. If you have staffing requirements, you can enter them into the schedule by shift,
position, department, or location, and see whether you're over- or under-scheduled. ScheduleAnywhere
tracks the number of employees or hours you have scheduled.
You can schedule employees by locating them on the schedule and selecting the day(s) you wish to schedule.
Use it to assign individual work shifts, shift patterns or rotations, and track time-off. ScheduleAnywhere
is packed with powerful functions and tools to make employee scheduling easy.
If your employees work in multiple departments or locations, their names can appear on more than one
schedule. ScheduleAnywhere automatically prevents overlapping shifts. By listing an employee on two
different schedules, other managers will know when and where an employee is scheduled to work even
if it's not in their department or location.

Create Custom Views and Schedules
See what you need to see
ScheduleAnywhere allows you to set up an unlimited number of custom schedules. Create a schedule for
each of your locations or departments, as well as create schedules by position or shift. To switch
schedules, just select the name of the schedule you wish to view.
You can schedule your employees from one of four different views. Choose a one-day view, a 7-day view,
a 14-day view, 28-day, or 42-day view. To view a different scheduling period, press the next or previous
buttons, or enter the date you wish to view and press the Go button.
Using ScheduleAnywhere to create schedules by position, department, or location is as simple as adding
names to a schedule, plus you can create unlimited schedules. You can view all employees in your company
or view employees by position, department, or location, or create your own custom view.
Creating custom schedules is easy
The Highlighter tool allows you to add background colors to specific items on the schedule. Using the
Highlighter, you can easily identify schedule cells that match your criteria. For example, if want
to emphasize employees scheduled for vacation or sick time, you can easily create a highlighter called "Vacation" or “Sick” and
apply it to the schedule.
To view specific schedule information, you can apply a filter. Use filters to see only those employees
scheduled a particular shift, or employees scheduled time off. Filters can also show you who is not
scheduled. This is helpful when an employee calls in sick and you need to find a quick replacement.

You can use Skills to track employee attributes, such as skills, training, and certifications. You
can set up Coverage Watches or Filters to determine the appropriate personnel to be scheduled. For
example, you can set up a Coverage Watch to track the number of employees scheduled with CPR certification,
or speak Spanish. You can set an expiration date for each skill, and the employee’s
manager will receive a reminder notification 90 days before the skill expires.

Many of today's businesses schedule overlapping shifts to increase staff coverage during peak times. With ScheduleAnywhere, you'll always know if you're covered. View the number of employees you have scheduled by hour, half-hour, 15-minute, 10-minute or 5-minute increments. Use filters to check coverage by shift, position, department, or location. The Labor Hours chart shows how labor hours are distributed throughout the day.

Share Schedules and Communicate with other Managers
Let others schedule your employees. Send managers important messages.
Share schedules with other managers so they can oversee your employees when you're not available. ScheduleAnywhere
lets other managers make changes to your schedule and lets you see the changes they've made.
ScheduleAnywhere includes a built-in messaging system that allows you to communicate with other managers
and review time-off requests. Managers can notify each other about employee availability and other
schedule-related information. If a manager has been sent a notification or time-off request, the notification
will automatically appear the next time the manager logs into ScheduleAnywhere.

Print Schedules and Reports
Customize schedules and reports for any time frame
If you don't want to give your employees access to ScheduleAnywhere, or if your employees don't have
Internet access, you can print and post any work schedule. Schedules can be printed by employee, position,
shift, department, or location, and for any time frame.
Searching for schedule information is easy! In seconds, you can see how many vacation days or sick
days an employee has taken. Check to see how many times an employee has been scheduled a particular
shift or been assigned a specific job. With a few clicks of your mouse, you can create customized search
reports, putting important schedule information at your fingertips.
The Total Hours report sums the total hours scheduled, and calculates employee utilization and efficiency
for a given work period. The Total Hours report displays the schedule name, specified date range, filters
that may have been selected, and any shifts for the selected period.
The Estimated Cost report is used to calculate hours scheduled and to provide an estimate of labor
costs for a given work period. The Estimated Cost report displays the schedule name, specified date
range, filters that may have been selected, and any overtime adjustment factors that were used to set
up the report.
