How to Use the Duty Roster/Shift Schedule Generator
Add the names of everyone available, then add each shift with a day and time-slot label. For each shift, use the dropdown to assign one or more people, or click "Round-Robin Auto-Fill" to automatically cycle through your people list and assign one person per shift in order. The Roster section at the bottom shows the finished grid — shifts as rows, with assigned people listed for each.
Example
With people Alex, Priya, Sam, and Morgan, and four shifts (Monday Morning, Monday Evening, Tuesday Morning, Tuesday Evening), clicking Round-Robin Auto-Fill assigns Alex to Monday Morning, Priya to Monday Evening, Sam to Tuesday Morning, and Morgan to Tuesday Evening.
Common Use Cases
- Building a weekly staff duty roster for a small business, shop, or office.
- Assigning shift coverage across a team quickly using the round-robin shortcut as a starting point.
- Organizing a volunteer or on-call schedule with multiple people covering different time slots.
FAQs
- Can I assign more than one person to a shift? Yes — the shift assignment dropdown allows multiple selections, so you can assign as many people as needed to cover a single shift.
- What does Round-Robin Auto-Fill actually do? It cycles through your list of people in order and assigns one person to each shift, wrapping back to the start of the list once it runs out of people — it's meant as a fast starting point you can then adjust manually.
- Does removing a person also remove them from shifts? Yes — removing someone from the People list automatically removes them from any shifts they were assigned to, so the roster never references someone who's no longer in the list.
