RotaBase is an easy-to-use Windows-based system for evaluating rotas selected from a library. With RotaBase you can do the following:
 | Open a RotaBase (a library of rotas). We have a number of RotaBases containing standard shift patterns |
| Select a rota from a library of rotas |
| Print out a full list of rotas contained on the RotaBase |
| Produce individual or team calendars on the screen or as printouts |
| View the rota in a number of ways, over any period of time, on the screen or as printouts |
| Add your own shift and absence codes with start and finish times, descriptions and hours of work |
| Assign a colour to a shift code |
| Do shift count and hour calculations over any period of time |
| Cut and paste rotas to and from other Windows applications, such as Excel |
Customised RotaBases
When you are constructing rotas (rosters, shift patterns) there are usually a number of options available to you. As well as the operational and contractual constraints, there are often "social" constraints relating to, for example:
|
frequency of weekends off |
|
maximum working block sizes |
|
minimum number of consecutive rest days (eg. no single rest days) |
|
minimum number of rest days following nights |
|
maximum number of consecutive nights |
|
working blocks of the same shift or rotation of shifts within blocks |
If you tell us your requirements we can set you up with a RotaBase of options. You will then be able to do what-if analyses and then eventually present the options to your staff for discussion. If you want to use this service, email your requirements to info@rostering.co.uk and we will reply with an estimate of cost.
Upgrade to RotaView
RotaBase not only helps you to find a rota but can be used as a basic planning tool. However, should you need a more sophisticated package you can easily upgrade to our shift planning and administration tool, RotaView.
