NEW Weekly View - Overview

The new Weekly View is designed to help you schedule smarter, communicate better, and save time.

Whether you're managing shifts for hotels, warehouses, restaurants, or staffing multiple clients - the Weekly View offers a clear, intuitive way to manage your workforce on a week-to-week basis.

Why use the Weekly View?

The Weekly View is perfect for teams that schedule shifts in weekly blocks. 

It brings you:

• A clearer picture of your schedule

• Faster scheduling workflows

• Fewer errors and reduced overtime

• Improved worker and client communication

Key Benefits and Features

Visual Scheduling Made Simple

Quickly scan your schedule with a layout that shows shifts by worker or by position. Use filters to focus on the information that matters most - like specific departments, positions, or roles.

You can:

• Zoom in on one worker’s weekly schedule

• Focus on a specific department or team

• Group shifts by position or job site

• Customize shift colors to reflect key details (e.g., role, status, location)

This makes it easier to identify coverage gaps, scheduling conflicts, or unassigned shifts.

Faster Shift Creation and Editing

Creating shifts takes seconds. Click anywhere on the schedule to add a shift, enter the details, or pull in templates and open shifts using the Templates & Open section.

Even better: We’ll only show templates and open shifts that the worker is qualified for - reducing mistakes and keeping your schedule accurate.

Real-Time Communication

Every shift you assign or update is communicated instantly to workers through the Nowsta Workers App. That means no missed messages, no misunderstandings, and no delays.

Include shift-specific notes like:

• Location and parking info

• Arrival and uniform instructions

• Any client-specific details

Your workers get everything they need in one place—and they’ll show up ready.

Smarter Scheduling for Staffing Agencies

We know your clients have unique needs. The new Weekly View helps you capture and share those needs without added effort.

For every shift, you can add:

• Client-specific instructions

• Location-specific notes

• Prep reminders, dress codes, and more

This helps your workers arrive better informed and ensures a better experience for your clients.

Proactive Overtime Management

Nowsta highlights both projected and confirmed overtime directly in the Weekly View.

• Confirmed overtime appears in red

• Projected overtime gives you early warnings

This makes it easy to stay on top of your labor costs and adjust before issues arise. You’ll always know when you’re at risk of going over budget - by worker, by day, or by week.

Built to Help You Scale

The Weekly View is more than just a calendar. It’s a scheduling engine that helps your business grow by improving visibility, efficiency, and communication.

You’ll spend less time scrambling and more time scaling - while keeping your team and your clients happy.
