Hide a role from the staff schedule

Hide a role (e.g. Training) from the schedule staff see, while managers and the rostered staff member still see it.

If you roster extra coverage under a particular role (for example a Training role), you can hide that role from the schedule your staff see. This stops staff noticing the extra people on and assuming the location is overstaffed.

What hiding a role does

  • Shifts with that role are removed from the schedule staff browse (both the role and staff views).
  • Managers and admins still see every role on the schedule.
  • A staff member rostered on one of those shifts still sees it in their own schedule, so they know to turn up.

How to turn it on

  1. Go to Settings → Roles.
  2. Open the role you want to hide (or create a new one).
  3. Scroll to the Visibility section.
  4. Turn on Hide this role from the staff schedule.
  5. Save the role.

You can turn it back off at any time using the same toggle.
