Hey @Tanda - looks like the shift swapping has gone into beta which is great! Any updates on when we might see the ability to broadcast 'vacant' shifts to particular staff members?
Liam
Hi Chris, we're very keen to build this into Tanda, keep your eyes peeled!
When you say "particular staff members", are you referring to the ability to select, for example, three specific staff members you'd like on a vacant shift, or just broadcast a vacant shift to all members in a particular team?

Hey Liam great to hear! I think both are quite valuable to have. There are instances where you may need to notify a select group of staff and other instances where you may be happy to notify the whole team.
In my opinion the ideal functionality would be a 'push' notification which gets sent to all staff selected. To select staff I would think the ability to search by individual, by a particular tag (might as well leverage this as it could help with notifying certain types of groups, e.g. level 2 chef vs. level 3 chef within the same team), and lastly, as you suggested, by team.

Hi, I'm really glad this is planned however I noticed you said staff will only be able to swap shifts in their own teams. This won't work for me unfortunately, as I have multiple teams in each section and they are all able to swap shifts with each other. Could you please consider this in the planning? Thanks :)

Hi Kathryn Simpson
How does your team setup work? I'm curious to know why if staff can work a job for a team, they are not a part of that team?
It would be great to build this so that it works for you, so I'm very interested to hear more about your setup! If explaining here would be too time-consuming, feel free to email me at liamsheppard@tanda.co and we can organise a quick phonecall 🙂

Liam: Liam: Hi! We are an early childhood education service and for example we have two groups/teams (Banksia and Wattle) within one section (Nursery). A Banksia team member can swap a shift time with a Wattle team member but they can't move from the Banksia group to the Wattle group. Does that make sense????

Hey there, this feature is on the way. You can sign up for early access here https://www.tanda.co/shift-swapping/
Shift swaps will only be allowed between staff in the same teams and you will be able to approve them before they can go through.

This needs to be approved by a manager and then we need to be able to track the swaps and requests.

Jason K Leong: Yes, i agree. Staff can offer their shifts to colleagues but ultimately it needs to be approved by their line manager

To add to this it would be great for managers to have the ability to set which staff would be available for a swap i.e. staff at the same level with the same qualifications and capabilities.
