The Auto-Scheduler is a Pro-exclusive feature that takes the guesswork out of scheduling. Set your preferences once and let TimeWise generate a full week's schedule for your team in seconds — then review, adjust, and publish.

Access the Auto-Scheduler

1

Open the Schedule tab at the bottom of the screen.

2

Tap Auto-Schedule. This feature requires an active Pro subscription.

3

If you're not currently on Pro, a prompt will appear with upgrade options. See Settings → Plan to upgrade.

Set Your Preferences

1

Choose the week you want to generate a schedule for.

2

Set the number of shifts per employee per week — for example, 4 or 5 shifts.

3

Set your preferred working hours — the start and end times for each shift block.

4

Select which days of the week your business operates.

5

Add any blackout dates — holidays, closures, or days you don't want shifts scheduled.

Generate the Schedule

1

Tap Generate Schedule when your preferences are set.

2

TimeWise will analyze your staff roster and preferences to create a full draft schedule for the selected week.

The draft schedule is shown in the calendar view in draft state — no employees are notified yet until you publish.

Review and Adjust

1

Review the draft schedule in the calendar view. Check that hours are balanced and coverage is adequate for each day.

2

Tap any shift to edit, move, or delete it manually. All standard shift editing tools are available in draft mode.

3

Make any final adjustments until the schedule reflects exactly what you need.

Publish the Schedule

1

Tap Publish Schedule when you're satisfied with the draft.

2

All employees will receive push notifications about their new shifts as soon as the schedule is published.

3

The schedule is now live and visible to your entire team in their My Shifts tabs.

Tip: Run the Auto-Scheduler a few days before the week starts to give your employees maximum notice about their shifts and time to plan ahead.
