This release introduces External Calendar Integrations, an updated Native App Settings experience, improved employee location syncing with RQ, and enhancements to schedule visibility.

We've also improved native app loading and navigation.

Employees can now add their Shiftlab shifts to their device's default calendar on iOS or Android. This makes it easier to view scheduled shifts alongside personal appointments and other calendar events.

Use External Calendar Integrations when you want your Shiftlab schedule accessible through your device's calendar.

Note: Calendar permissions or additional setup may be required depending on your device.

Which devices support External Calendar Integrations?

The integration is available for iOS and Android devices.

Will my Shiftlab shifts appear in my device's calendar?

Yes. Once the integration is enabled, your Shiftlab shifts can appear in your device's default calendar.

The Native App now includes a redesigned Settings landing page. Settings are organized into a central menu with separate groupings, making it easier to locate and manage available options.

Use the Settings menu whenever you need to access or update your Native App preferences, including the new External Calendar Integration.

Why does the Settings page look different?

Settings have been reorganized into a central landing page with clearer groupings to make navigation easier.

Where can I find the calendar integration?

Open the Native App Settings menu and look for the External Calendar Integration option.

Shiftlab now imports employee location assignments from RQ. Locations assigned to an employee in RQ will be added as assignments in Shiftlab, helping simplify employee onboarding and location management.

Important: Existing location assignments in Shiftlab will not be overwritten. The sync adds additional locations received from RQ.

This improvement is useful for organizations that manage employee location assignments in RQ and want those assignments reflected in Shiftlab.

Will RQ overwrite an employee's existing Shiftlab location assignments?

No. Existing Shiftlab assignments are preserved. The sync adds additional locations provided by RQ.

How does this help with onboarding?

Employee location assignments can be brought into Shiftlab from RQ, reducing the need to recreate those assignments manually.

The Schedule page now better accommodates employees who have more than two shifts on a single day. Employee rows will expand to display additional shifts, improving schedule visibility.

This enhancement supports scenarios where employees have multiple shifts through accepted open shifts or schedule imports.

This improvement applies when an employee is scheduled for more than two shifts on the same day.

No additional configuration is required.

Why might an employee have more than two shifts in one day?

This can occur when employees accept open shifts or when schedules are imported.

Do I need to change any settings to see the additional shifts?

No. The schedule display adjusts automatically to accommodate more than two shifts.

We've improved the Native App experience with the following updates:

These updates provide a more consistent and polished experience when opening the app and moving between modules.

Can employees view Shiftlab shifts in their personal device calendars?

Yes. Employees can enable External Calendar Integrations in the Native App to add their Shiftlab shifts to their default iOS or Android calendar.

Will syncing locations from RQ remove existing Shiftlab assignments?

No. The RQ sync adds location assignments from RQ without overwriting existing Shiftlab assignments.

What happens when an employee has more than two shifts in a day?

The employee's schedule row expands to accommodate the additional shifts.

What changed when opening the Native App?

A Shiftlab splash screen now appears during loading, and the Schedule and Shift Swap Portal have more consistent page transitions.
