Multiple Week Schedule Cycle

ℹ️ The default schedule cycle for carers and clients is 1 week. This means that whatever is entered into the schedule is expected to happen every week.

There may be the need to create a multiple week schedule cycle for your carers or clients. For clients it can account for a different set of visits on a fortnightly basis, or even different, regular carer allocations e.g. 1 weekend on 1 weekend off.

To set up a multiple week schedule cycle, you will need to go to the schedule of the person that needs it. In the top right corner, you will see the settings icon. Click on that and you will have 2 options:

  • Start date - This is the earliest point at which a booking can be created from the schedule. When using a multiple week cycle, it will control which week is the Week 1 in the cycle.

    This can be used to align all your carers and clients if you have a matching schedule cycle across all people.

  • Number of weeks - Set as 1 as a default, but can be increased. If looking to create for more than 2 weeks, we recommend getting in touch with support to discuss further.

Select the options you need and click create. When creating schedule entries, you will be able to select which week(s) you want using the dropdown menu at the top of the creation form and will have the ability to switch between the weeks set up.

Agenda

You will be able to see which week you are currently in on the agendas. The week number will be stated underneath each day on the left hand side.
