Week templates save time when your weekly rotas look alike. A template is a snapshot of a planned week and belongs to one location.

Save a week as a template

  1. Plan a week in the “Rota” the way it usually looks.

  2. Open the “Week templates” card.

  3. Under “Save as template”, enter a name, for example “Standard week”, and tap “Save”.

Apply a template

  1. In the “Rota”, go to the week you want to fill.

  2. In “Week templates”, tap “Apply” next to the template. Symiko tells you how many shifts were created.

  3. Check the week and publish it.

  • Shifts that are already in the rota are not overwritten.
  • Shifts of people who are no longer in the team are added as unfilled shifts.
  • If a template breaks German working time law and head office has chosen “Block invalid shifts”, Symiko tells you.
  • If the template would put a person in the rota twice at the same time, Symiko does not create any shifts from the template and names the day and time.
  • A template cannot be edited. If something changes, create a new one and delete the old one.
