Claiming a Shift

Use the SwapBoard window to claim a shift another employee has placed on the SwapBoard or an empty shift.

To Claim a shift:

  1. Go to Swap.
    SwapBoard window displays available shift details.
    Note: You can drag and drop any column header to the left corner of the table. The window displays information sorted by that column. Also, to further refine the display, see Using Filters.

  2. Select in the Actions column.
    Claim window displays. It checks whether or not you could claim this shift.
    If NO displays, it is not possible.
    If YES displays, a Claim button displays.

  3. On the Claim window, select Claim.
    Claim window displays Completed if your organization does not require Scheduler approval.

  4. Select the Close and Refresh Screen button.
    Shift displays in your schedule as an approved shift.
    Note: If you cannot claim the shift, but could work a portion of the shift, see Splitting a Shift and Claiming an Empty Shift.
