What are Daily, Weekly & Monthly views?

Daily, Weekly and Monthly Views in a rostering system let managers see and control their schedules across different time-scales. They provide the flexibility to zoom in for shift-level detail or zoom out for long-term planning, making it easier to balance staff coverage, costs and business needs.

The Daily View focuses on a single day, showing every shift, start and finish time, role, and any coverage gaps. It’s ideal for checking who’s working today, managing replacements, and keeping operations running smoothly. Managers can adjust shifts on the fly and see instant updates reflected across the team.

The Weekly View gives a complete picture of the upcoming week. It helps spot patterns, balance total hours across staff, and prevent fatigue or under-staffing. This view is perfect for short-term planning — ensuring rosters are fair, compliant and efficient across multiple days or sites.

The Monthly View offers a broader perspective. It highlights shift volumes, labour trends and budget impact over time, supporting smarter workforce planning and forecasting. By switching between these views, businesses can manage day-to-day coverage, monitor weekly performance and plan ahead for the month — all within one simple, visual interface.
