Overview

Tags provide a way to define custom shift qualifications that cannot be easily captured by position alone. Think of tags like additional eligibility requirements that you can layer on top of positions.

For example, tags can capture requirements like:

• Certifications

• Preferred status

• Tenure/seniority

• Skill subsets not reflected in the position

• Degree

• Geographic location

Example

The following is just one example of how tags can work alongside shifts to designate extra requirements.

You can also create and manage tags on your Computer and iOS device.

Once you’ve created your tags, you can assign those tags to employees, shifts, and shift templates in any combination to ensure that shifts are matched to the correct employees.

Considerations

• You must have Supervisor, Manager or Admin access privileges to create a tag.

• Tags are not visible to employees.
• When a shift has tags assigned, an employee must be assigned all tags present on the shift to be eligible to take it.

• Tags can be created on web only.
