Getting Started With Droppah in Six Easy Steps

After registering for a Droppah account you'll receive an email with details of how to log into your Droppah company.  

Once you're logged in, you can get started with Droppah right away!

Step One - Company Settings & Integrations

The Settings tab allows you to apply your preferred roster rules and settings and enter your company details. Ensure these have been updated as required. You can learn more here: Company Settings

Integrations

In addition to setting up your Company settings, you can connect your payroll integration (if applicable), or apply any settings needed for exporting time to other payroll or reporting software. Click the appropriate button below to learn more. 

Step Two - Employees

Your employees who will be included in rosters will need to be set up as People in Droppah. 

To make a new Person, go to the People tab and click the green New Person button. Alternatively, click an existing person to edit them. Here you can enter and manage their basic details.

You can also specify maximum hours per week and set their weekly availability on their record if desired, so that Droppah's automated planning knows their preferences.

Step Three - Work Groups

Droppah uses Work Groups as criteria in building your roster - these might be a specific role or task that will be assigned to your employees within a Shift. 

New Work Groups can be added by going to  Manage > Work Groups > New Work Group. 

You'll need to add the appropriate Work Groups to each employee so that they can be rostered for them. Alternatively, you can also add employees to Work Groups directly.

Step Four - Teams

Your people must be included in at least one Team in order to be rostered. You can add or edit Teams under Manage > Teams. 

These are used to define groups of employees who are rostered together, or who clock in and out of the same device. Teams will usually represent different departments or store locations within your business.

Employees can be added to multiple Teams if you have any employees who work across multiple sites or areas of the business.

If you roster all employees at once and have everyone clocking in and out of a single location you may only have one Team.

Step Five - Shifts

The next step is setting up your Shifts in Droppah. Shifts manage the possible Start & End times and default break durations that your employees work.

To create a new Shift, navigate to the Manage > Shifts tab and click the New Shift button. Set a Shift Name and the Start Time and End Time.

You can have as many shifts as you need to cover your standard start and end times. These default start and end times will be used when creating Roster Plans, but you can still edit these on individual shifts as required once your roster is loaded.

Step Six - Roster Plan

Roster Plans outline the requirements for each day of your upcoming roster, including the number of shifts and relevant skills needed.

To make a new Roster Plan, go to Roster Plans > New Plan. Add a name for your plan.

If your company has multiple Teams you can choose whether the roster plan is only for a certain team, or if it should be available to all teams.
