You can confirm and acknowledge shifts as an indication you can either work your shift(s), or that you've seen a change to your shift(s).
In this article, we'll look into the following on confirming and acknowledging shifts in your Team Xpress app:
Confirming shifts
Acknowledging shifts
Forgetting to Confirm or Acknowledge shifts
To Confirm
When you Confirm a shift, it's your way of telling your supervisor that you can work it. Any shifts that require confirmation will be in the To Confirm section of your Action needed tab.
In your Team Xpress app, head to Schedule > Action needed > To Confirm.
Note: If you're NOT required to Confirm shifts, then this option will NOT be available for you.
Confirming shifts
If you have more than one shift to Confirm, then you have two choices:
Confirm shifts all at once
Confirm shifts individually
Confirm all
To Confirm all at once, you simply click Confirm all at the bottom of the To Confirm section.
Confirming shifts individually
You can Confirm shifts individually by clicking on the shifts in your Schedule or in the To Confirm section.
Changes (Acknowledging shifts)
When you Acknowledge a shift, it's your way of telling your supervisor that you are aware that the shift has been added or changed. Any shifts that require acknowledgement will be in the Changes section of your Action needed tab.
In your Team Xpress app, head to Schedule > Action needed > Changes.
Note: If you're NOT required to Acknowledge shifts, then this option will NOT be available for you.
Changes to shifts will be highlighted at the bottom of each shift. For example, + Shift added or x Shift removed.
Acknowledging shifts
If you have more than one shift to Acknowledge, then you have two choices:
Acknowledge shifts all at once
Acknowledge shifts individually
Acknowledge all changes
To Acknowledge all at once, you simply click Acknowledge all at the bottom of the Changes section.
Acknowledge shifts individually
You can Acknowledge shifts individually by clicking on the shifts in your Schedule or in the Changes section.
Forgetting to Confirm or Acknowledge shifts
In most cases, if you forget to Confirm or Acknowledge your shifts, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll lose the shift. It's often used as additional clarification that you can work it or have accepted the change. Your supervisor will be notified if you do Confirm and Acknowledge, and will also be notified if you don't.
If you're unsure on what confirming and acknowledging shifts means to you, then we'd recommend you speak to your supervisor.
