Write a rule in plain language

Type the rule as you would say it, for example "Luca and Marco never on the same shift". The app turns it into a rule card, and nothing counts until you confirm.

Steps

1. Open the Rules tab.
2. In the box Write a rule in your own words (on the phone, Write a rule), type your rule. Examples: "No more than 5 days in a row" or "Share weekends fairly".
3. Tap Understand the rule (on the web, Understand).
4. Read the card. It shows the rule type and a sentence such as "Luca R. and Marco B. are never together".
5. If it is right, tap Add this rule (on the web, Confirm rule). If not, tap Cancel (on the web, Discard) and try again.
6. The new rule is on. You can switch it off any time.

Good to know

• This is a paid feature, included in the 14-day trial. After the trial the button shows a lock and opens the plans.
• The text needs at least 6 characters.
• Use people's names as they appear in your team, or a number of hours or days.
• Rule changes apply from your next build.

If it does not work

• If the app says the rule is not clear yet, name the people or give a number, for example "Luca and Marco never together" or "At most 5 days in a row".
• Rules only cover the types in Scheduling rules. Something outside that list cannot become a rule.
