Shift Notes – Add notes to any shift from the new Notes section in the shift modal, on desktop and in the mobile app. Choose Note for {first name} for something the person on the shift should see, or Manager note for something only managers see. Staff see their notes in the Droppah app and their roster email once the roster is published, and any changes reach them at the next publish. See Shift Notes.

Empty Shifts in Resources – Empty shifts now have their own row at the top of the Resources view. Drag one onto a person to assign it, or drag a shift into the row to take someone off it. Matching empty shifts on the same day are grouped with a count. See Empty Shifts.

Remove Person – New in the shift modal’s options menu. Takes someone off a shift and leaves it as an empty shift, ready to reassign. See Covering a Shift When Someone Can’t Work.

Shift Cost Breakdown – Click Roster Cost or Actual Cost in the shift modal to see the rates that make it up: each stretch of time, the rate it’s paid at, and why.
