It contains information on whether:
There is a statutory holiday on this day.
Time off requests are blocked on this day.
If any schedule memos have been added for this day to remind schedulers of important information.
In this article, we'll look into the following on the Schedule info widget in Schedule Xpress:
Statutory holidays in your schedule
Time off requests blocked
Schedule memo
Statutory holidays in your schedule
Any day that falls on a statutory holiday will be highlighted in red on your schedule.
For more information on what the holiday is, you can click the Schedule info widget.
Time off requests blocked
Time off requests blocked allows admins to prevent employees from requesting time off on certain dates.
This can be found in Schedule Xpress, under Settings > Security > Additional Employee settings > Employee Time off settings.
You can use this feature to add any dates you want to block your employees from being able to request time off for. If they do attempt to request time off for a blocked date, they will receive an error message in their Team Xpress app.
If a day in your schedule is blocked for time off requests, it will also be shown in the Schedule info widget.
The employee will receive the following error if they attempt to book time off on a blocked date.
Schedule memo
The Schedule memo can be used for communicating important information that you may require other users to see.
If there is a special event that other users need to be made aware of, you can warn them prior to making any schedule changes to ensure this information is considered.
Adding a Schedule memo
If there isn't a statutory holiday, a time off request blocked, or a schedule memo written, then the schedule info widget will be hidden. You can hover near the date to click the + sign to add a schedule memo.
Schedule memos in feature access
You can decide the level of access a user has to Schedule memos inside of their Feature access group.
