Schedules, also called rotations, decide who is on call at any given time. The Who's On Call view shows current and upcoming coverage.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ The Who's On Call view

A timeline grid shows the shifts for each team.

  • Timezone toggle โ€“ switch between your local time and UTC.

  • Day or hour โ€“ view coverage by day or by hour.

  • Today, previous, and next โ€“ navigate the timeline, up to a 30-day window.

๐Ÿ” Rotations

A rotation is an ordered set of shifts. Each shift is a block of time with a person assigned. You can edit a rotation to add or remove shifts and change who is assigned.

๐Ÿ›Ÿ Overrides

An override replaces the scheduled person for a window of time.

  • Take On-Call โ€“ creates a one-hour override starting now.

  • Add Override โ€“ opens a time picker where you choose a window and a reason (Sick, Coverage gap, or Other).
