SchedulePro can now be configured with default notification and permission preferences for employees at the organization level.
Default Notifications
System administrators in SchedulePro can set up the default notifications for all new employees entered into the system. These are set under Home > Settings > Organization > Default Settings for New Employees.
Communication Settings
This section allows admins to set defaults for notifications to employees and managers.
- Manage Open Shifts: notifications about bids or pickups
- Leave Updates: notifications around leave submissions, edits, and cancellations
- Shift Assigned/Unassigned: notifications to employees upon assignments/unassignments
- Shift Edited: notifications to employees upon any edits to a shift (start/end time, comments, position/location changes, etc.)
- New Schedule Published: notifications to employees when publishing the schedule (still requires checkbox to be marked during the publishing process)
- Shift Trades: notifies people involved in the process of various stages of the trade - this cannot be edited
- Message Broadcast: sends broadcast messages to employees - this cannot be edited
- Giveaways: if the feature is enabled, notifies people involved in various stages of the shift giveaway process
- Timesheets: if the feature is enabled, notifications around timesheets
Employee Permission Settings
Until now, permissions had to be set for each individual employee or imported into SchedulePro via bulk upload. Now the organization defaults can be set up so all new employees are automatically provided the correct permissions.
- Permission To View Schedule Of Group: set the default to be none or see all by default
- Shift Trade Request: Not Allowed or Approval Required
- Leave Request: Not Allowed or Approval Required
- Unavailability Request: Not Allowed or Auto-Approve
- Edit Notification Settings: Not Allowed or Allowed
