Get started#
Welcome. Shiftavo is easiest to learn in a particular order: first the handful of records everything is built from, then the ways a week gets planned, then what happens after the plan is live. This section walks that order — three short reads and one hands-on walkthrough that ends with your first staffed shift on the calendar.
No account yet? How to create your account gets you from the sign-up form to your own company in a few minutes. Your first stop there is How to complete the company setup — four questions about your leave year, currency, workweek and payroll.
Understand the basics#
Read these in order — each builds on the one before:
How the data fits together — the chain from Location, Position, and Person through MLP entry, Shift, Assignment, and Time entry to Payroll. Ten minutes here makes every other screen familiar.
Three ways to build a schedule — how to build a full week without creating shifts one by one: schedule templates, recurring shifts, and calendar copying.
From shift draft to payroll — the five states a shift moves through (Draft → Published → Confirmed → Approved → exported) and what locks behind you at each step.
Then build your first shift#
