New Features

Member App - Smart Shifts

The brand new Smart Shifts feature in the Workforce App allows your members to narrow down the search of the specific Released Shifts by using their preferred restriction criteria. A popular example would be to use Smart Shifts to filter the list by Shift Distance Range.

Rather than sifting through potentially hundreds of released shifts on their small mobile screen, members can view the Released Shifts with this custom filtered view in order to best meet their travel requirements. Members can add multiple Smart Shift filters, and each filter can have multiple matching conditions.

When the Smart Shift filters are applied, the Released Shifts screen shows Released Shift numbers, Shifts Filtered numbers, name(s) of any filters applied, as well as the number of filters applied on the filter badge icon. The member can easily add, edit, or remove any applied Smart Shift filters in order to view a broader range of released shifts on their screen 😊.

How to Access Smart Shifts?

To access Smart Shifts from the Member App:

• From the Dashboard, click the Released icon to open the Released Shifts screen

• The Released Shifts screen shows the Shifts based on the default Shift Distance Range filter with the number of Shift(s) Matched. Tap on the filter badge icon (as shown in the figure below) to open the Smart Shifts Filter screen

• In the Smart Shifts Filter screen, you can add a new filter to search the Released Shifts as per your requirements. For the first time Add filter header appears as shown in the figure below
