This article includes the following topics:

  • How to configure hiding end of shift
  • Setting the Default Organisation Rule
  • Setting the Rule for the Specific User
  • Setting a Shift to not Show end Times
  • Setting a Shift to Show end Times

When would this feature be used

This feature is useful in situations where the end time of a shift is not known. The end time of the roster shift is replaced with TBA in roster communications and also the users' online roster. 

Why would this feature be used

This feature would be used to hide the end time of a shift from an employee. You still need to specify an end time for a roster shift, but the employee won't see the end time. 

This setting is applied on each individual shift. If you assign a shift from one person to another, and you want to display end times on the shift, make sure you tick hide end times before assigning it to the new employee.

This also applies to common shifts. If the common shift is set to show end times, and you assign it to an employee you want to hide end times, make sure you edit the shift and tick hide end times before applying.
