Get started

Three short articles to give you the mental model of Shiftavo before you click anything. Read them in order and you’ll understand how the data is shaped, how a schedule gets built, and what happens between a planner’s first draft and the payroll export.

Start here

• How the data fits together — the chain from Location and Position through MLP, Person, Shift, Assignment, Time entry, Payroll. Every other view in the product is a window into this chain.

• Three ways to build a schedule — schedule templates, recurring shifts, Alt+drag copy. When to reach for each.

• From shift draft to payroll — the five states a shift moves through (Draft → Published → Submitted → Approved → Locked) and what locks behind you at each step.

Then try it

• Your first shift — a hands-on walk from an empty company to one staffed shift, linking through the canonical how-to articles in order.
