What is the Admin App?
This feature is currently in the early stages of development and is available upon request.
The admin app lets admins view their schedules and action staff requests on the go. It's part of the RosterLab mobile app, so there's nothing extra to install.
Logging in
To access the admin app, log into the RosterLab mobile app using your admin login credentials.
If you're both an admin and a staff member, you can switch between the two views quickly using the toggle in the Settings menu.
If you are an admin of multiple locations you can toggle between locations through the location tab in the sidebar
Viewing your roster
Use the date slider to select a day and see your roster for that date.
You can filter the view by shift or employee names, and if you have a particularly large roster, you can also search by employee or shift name.
Click on an employees name to see who else is working with them.
Managing requests
The Requests section is where you action anything staff have submitted. Each request type has its own tab so you can work through them quickly.
All new requests will send a notification
Shift swaps
When two staff agree to swap, it comes to you to approve. See who's involved and which shifts are changing, then approve or decline. The roster updates automatically for both.
Open shifts
See the status of your open shifts at a glance, including who's accepted and who's declined, so you know which gaps still need attention.
Leave requests
Review the dates and approve or decline. Approved leave flows through to the roster.
Special preferences
Review and approve special preferences quickly, without logging into a desktop. Special preferences carry more weight than standard preferences when the next AI roster is generated. They're taken into account but not guaranteed.
Chatting to Otto
From the Otto section you can chat to Otto, RosterLab's AI assistant, about your roster. Instead of scrolling through the schedule, just ask a question in plain language. For example:
"Who's working tomorrow morning?"
"Is anyone on leave next week?"
"Who is working the most night shifts this roster?"
Otto answers based on your roster, so it's a quick way to check details while you're away from your desk.
Getting help
The Help section connects you directly to the RosterLab team via Intercom. If you run into a problem or have a question don't hesitate to reach out.
