Link the staff role to specific staff members if you want to use Shift and Staff Planning. Go to Administration > Settings > Items to specify, which item groups are intended for staff items and can be linked to staff members.
As soon as you select an Item group belonging to the "Staff" top group, a new Staff members tab will appear in the side navigation.
Go to this new Staff members tab and click on Add.
Select one staff member by left-clicking (hold down the Ctrl key for multi-select) and click on Apply to select the staff you want.
Save your input by clicking on the icon in the top left-hand corner of the input window.
Note: It is possible to create a new account on-the-fly by clicking on Add > Item list > Add > New staff member. We recommend, however, to create new staff members by going to the Staff and Shifts tab and selecting Staff member > New.
