Customers can now enhance rostering efficiency with the ability to lock rosters .

This new functionality prevents unauthorised changes at specific locations while still allowing location managers the flexibility to finalise and adjust their own schedules as needed before locking. Admins can unlock a roster per location should changes need to be made.

To lock a roster for a specific location or multiple locations, go to a roster and select one or more locations. Then go to > . A pop up will display asking for confirmation. Once locked, an unlock option cound be found just below.

We have changed how declined shifts appear in the Tanda Mobile App to give managers better visibility and prompt them to reassign these shifts.

Following these changes, status pills will now appear on shift cards in the Mobile App (e.g., Pending, Accepted, or Declined). For example:

Previously, when an employee declined a shift, it was removed from any Mobile App views (except for the Draft Roster) and was only viewable for managers via the desktop roster. As such, this change gives managers far better visibility and clarity over declined shifts.
