Using the mobile Schedule tab for jobs and shifts

See the next two weeks of jobs, confirm your shifts, and, as a manager, add or edit team shifts and see who's clocked in.

5 min read

The Schedule tab in the SalesThumb mobile app shows the shop's jobs for the next two weeks and your own work shifts. Owners, admins and managers also get the whole team's shifts and a live view of who's clocked in, and they can add or change shifts from the phone.

The four views

A switch at the top picks the view:

  • Jobs: upcoming appointments. Everyone sees this.
  • My Shifts: your own shifts. Everyone sees this.
  • Team: everyone's shifts. Owners, admins and managers only.
  • On Now: who's working right now. Owners, admins and managers only.

Dates follow your shop's time zone, not your phone's. Pull down on any view to refresh it.

Jobs

Jobs lists appointments from today through the next 13 days, grouped by day with Today and Tomorrow labels. Each row shows the time, the customer, the vehicle, the service and a status pill. Tap a row to open the job.

Sales staff and managers see a Book button next to the round thumb button. Tap it to book a new appointment. See Quoting, invoicing and booking from your phone.

My Shifts

My Shifts lists the shifts your manager has scheduled for you in the next two weeks. Each one shows its start and end time, its label and notes, and confirmed or pending. Tap Confirm shift to let your manager know you've seen it.

Team shifts

Team shows every staff member's shifts by day. A manager can confirm a shift for someone with Confirm for and their name.

Managers with permission to manage the timeclock (owners, admins and managers by default) can add and edit shifts:

  1. Tap Shift next to the round thumb button. The Add shift sheet opens.
  2. Pick the Staff member.
  3. Pick the Day, the Start time and a Duration from 2h to 12h.
  4. Add a Label (optional), such as "Opening" or "Tint bay 2", pick a Color, and add Notes (optional).
  5. Tap Add shift.

If the person already has a shift at that time, you'll see "Time slot is taken". Tap Schedule anyway to double-book them, or Cancel.

To change a shift, tap it on the Team view, make your changes and tap Save. To remove it, tap Delete. Deleting can't be undone.

Dragging a shift to a new time only works on the web. See Setting up the Employee Schedule (shifts drive booking availability).

On Now

On Now lists the team's timeclock status live: On shift, On break or Clocked out, with the time each person clocked in. If nobody is working, you'll see "Nobody clocked in".

Frequently asked questions

Q: Why don't I see the Team and On Now views?

A: They're for owners, admins and managers. Everyone else sees Jobs and My Shifts.

Q: How far ahead does the Schedule tab show?

A: Two weeks: today plus the next 13 days, in your shop's time zone.

Q: Can I move a shift by dragging it on my phone?

A: No. On the phone, tap the shift on the Team view to change its day, time or length. Dragging shifts only works on the web.
