A ‘No Show’ Workflow is used to alert management of employees who have not clocked in today for the start of a scheduled shift. The employee could simply be running a few minutes late or there may be a more serious reason. Management can use the ‘No Show’ information to follow up on the welfare of their employees and, if necessary, ensure that they have sufficient cover in place.

This guide will look at an example Use Case in explaining the following:

Use Case

All Team Leaders need to know, as soon as possible, if any of their staff have not turned up for work. Shifts start at 06:00, 09:00 and 12:00. In order to allow some leeway for those Employees who may be running a few minutes late, the Team Leaders want to receive an email at ten minutes past the shift start times, highlighting if anyone is still a 'No Show'.

‍

Setting up the Workflow

Select ‘Workflow’ from the Menu Bar.
Select ‘New’ (single page icon).
Name the Workflow ‘No Shows’.
Select ‘No Show’ from the ‘Type’ drop-down menu.
In ‘Groups’, select ‘All’.
In ‘Profiles’, select ‘Team Leaders’.
In ‘Traffic Lights’, set ‘Amber’ to 0 and ‘Red’ to 1. The Workflow will now turn red as soon as there is a single ‘No Show’.
Save.

The Employees’ contact details and their expected shifts will be displayed in the Workflow.
