Rolling out to your account over the next few weeks will be the ability to include leave with your 1, 2, 4 week and monthly schedule excel exports! This is one of many steps we'll be taking to ensure more flexibility within the schedule to help solve whatever problem or process you have in front of you. 

1. The export menu can now be found in the options menu where you'll notice "Print Schedule" (PDF or Excel) or "Export Schedule" (CSV, JSON) 

2. By Selecting "Print Schedule" and "Excel" as the format - you'll notice a leave checkbox is available if you'd like to include this in your schedule export.

If you have any feedback, or other items you'd like included on export, submit a feature request and the team will be here to help!

What's New?

• Access it via: Schedule Tab → Insights dropdown → Show Hours in Areas
• A breakdown of daily total hours by area, comparing:
  • Scheduled hours (including both filled shifts and all shifts)
  • Daily budgeted hours per area
  • Actual hours (from timesheets, available only when viewing past dates)
  • Compatible with sub shifts from Micro-scheduling

Why the Change?

By comparing budgeted, scheduled, and actual hours in one view, managers can make more informed, data-driven scheduling decisions—without the need to toggle Areas on and off in the Stats Panel to check daily hours data.This feature also serves as a valuable add-on, offering a more tailored experience for managers to monitor Micro-scheduling hours by area.

Please check details from the help doc here.

What's New?

• Improved error handling by enhancing the import logic to better detect and manage errors, with improved editing capabilities to make corrections easier.
• Support for Micro-scheduling sub shifts by introducing a new optional field, "Group Reference", to support importing Micro-scheduling rosters's sub shifts.
  • For standard (single-area) rosters, this field can be ignored.
  • For Micro-scheduling rosters, only the sub shifts need to be included in the file, each with the same Group Reference to indicate they belong to the same parent Micro-scheduling shift.
  • These enhancements make it easier to manage complex scheduling needs at scale.

Why the Change?

Bulk Import Schedules from File is a powerful tool that streamlines the bulk setup of rosters—especially valuable during the implementation or easily migrating from excel/google sheet into Deputy digital solutions. 

The new changes also support for Micro-scheduling schedules to be seamlessly imported into your Deputy account that will help you setup many rosters in a shorter period by significantly reducing the onboarding time and efforts.

What's New ✨

Team members are now able to state when they prefer to work by adding when they are available, not just when they are unavailable. 

The new ability for team members to add in their availability will tie in with all the same touch points for managers scheduling shifts meaning there will be no changes to how you schedule. Managers will still see a warning when someone is being scheduled for a shift that clashes with when a team member has indicated a preference to work or not. 

Why? 🙋‍♀️

Availability makes it easier for certain kinds of team members to keep their availability up to date, such as casual staff members or people who don’t work full time hours and it may be easier and faster to indicate when they are available vs unavailable. 

Making this process easier for employees will mean you’ll have more data available when looking to find the best fit for a shift.
