How to Add Comments to Roster Days
Day Comments on the Roster
Roster managers can attach comments to specific days on the roster to communicate important context.
How to use
- Go to The Living Roster (Sidebar → The Living Roster)
- Look for the comment indicator on the date header (a small icon appears on days with comments)
- Click the date header or the comment icon to open the Day Comment Modal
- Type your comment and save
Use cases
- Note a public holiday or special event
- Flag a known coverage issue ("John confirmed he'll be late")
- Leave handover notes for the next roster builder
- Record the reason for unusual staffing ("Training day — reduced Fast Track")
Visibility
- Day comments are visible to all roster builders and admins viewing the roster
- Staff members may see comments if they view the full roster
Tip: Use day comments to document context that the roster grid alone can't convey.
