This article explains how to create and configure positions from the establishment's parameters, and how to use them from the schedule.


How do I create and configure positions?

Why is this important?

A work position defines the nature of an employee's activities within the establishment. It is essential to configure these positions to create work shifts on the schedule.

How do I create and configure a position?

  1. Access the establishment's parameters:
    Go to Establishment settings > Positions.

  2. Create a new position:

    • Enter the desired position name in the Position Name bar on the left, then click on the blue Add button on the right.

    • Customize the color of the position to make it easier to read on the schedule.

    • Define a specific break time for each position.

  3. Set automatic breaks:

    • When shift duration exceeds the working time specified in the establishment's rules, a break is automatically added to the shift. This break time can be entered in minutes or as a percentage of working time, depending on the establishment's Collective Agreement.


How do I use a position on the schedule?

Why is this important?

Once created, positions must be used on the schedule to organize employee shifts.

How do I use a position on the schedule?

  1. Enter the position when creating a shift:
    Select the position from the drop-down list of positions created in the establishment.

  2. Create a position directly from the shift:
    You can create a position directly when creating a shift from Schedule > Week view.

  3. Automate breaks:
    If a break time has been defined for a position, this information will be automatically added to the shift on the schedule. You can modify this break time if necessary.

  4. Use position filters:
    Use a position filter to make the schedule easier to read. Only rows with shifts planned for the chosen position will appear.

Important points:

  • If an employee is absent all week, he/she will not appear when filtering by position.

  • Positions vs. teams: Positions are defined when shifts are created, while teams are affiliated from the employee's file.

Example: “I'm part of the Kitchen team and my position from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is cook.”

How do I modify or delete a position?

Why is this important?

It is sometimes necessary to modify or delete positions to adapt to changes within the establishment.

How do I modify a position?

  1. Access the establishment's parameters:
    Go to Establishment settings > Positions.

  2. Modify the position's characteristics:
    You can change the color, the position name and the corresponding break time.
    Changes are taken into account immediately and have a retroactive effect on shifts already scheduled.

How do I delete a position?

  1. Delete the position:
    Click on the trash can icon to the right of the position line in the establishment settings.

  2. Effects of deletion:
    Deleting a position has no retroactive effect: the deleted position will still be entered on shifts already planned, but will no longer be available for the creation of new shifts.

Authorization requirements :

Only managers can create, modify or delete a position. This action must be authorized in their permissions.
