February 2025

The following changes were released to On-Call Optimizer in February 2025

Product Improvements

Swap Improvements

In response to many requests, the flexibility of the shift swap functionality has been significantly increased to allow any schedule member to initiate a swap request for any upcoming shift assigned in the schedule, not just shifts assigned directly to them.

An additional shortcut to directly take an upcoming shift and assign it directly to yourself is now also available.

Both of these new capabilities are accessed via the shift popup described below.

Further improvements building on this flexibility including short-cuts to quickly take an partial portion of the current shift, and the ability to reassign any shift to a specific member are in progress and will also be launched in the next few weeks.

Shift Popup

The new swap actions described above, as well as other key details about a shift, are located in a new popup accessible by clicking or hovering over any shift displayed within the Overview or Assignments tab of a schedule.

Details of assignment factors that impacted on the quality of the assignment have also moved to be shown within the popup for each shift, rather than as a separate list next to the assignment on the main page.

The shift popup works with both the current table-based default shift layout and the upcoming calendar based preview layout.
