News and updates from Snap Schedule developers.
The developers at Snap Schedule never seem to run out ways to improve scheduling software. But this time, when thinking of new ideas, they looked to the customers for inspiration. Apparently, some people felt the user experience could be smoother and suggested adding few small tools to the Task View screens. Snap’s developers listened, and…
There are few administrative chores that take the wind out of your sails as fast as processing the payroll. Second only to employee scheduling, payroll is a tedious and time-consuming task. Often times, the simple concept of counting hours, calculating earnings and paying your employees gets bogged down with verifying and reconciling figures. And that’s…
In the North America, at least, we all lost an hour of sleep this weekend as we started Daylight Saving Time. Moving those clock hands forward isn’t always the easiest thing to do, and it makes for a difficult Monday morning. In honor of the lost hour, the development team at Snap Schedule is excited…
Happy New Year from Snap Schedule! While everyone else was watching the ball drop in Times Square, the dev team at Snap Schedule was finalizing a new employee feature to celebrate the new year.

As the leaves from deciduous trees start to turn color and fall away, the spring-planted corn shoots up toward the sky, and with it, the undeniable fun of wandering through a field of corn stalks.

Being software development geeks as we are, the development team at Snap Schedule decided to push out an update to Snap Schedule 365 in conjunction with the North American Lunar Eclipse.

Schedulers need to be able to quickly find information they need to create and maintain employee schedules. Snap Schedule 365 uses a “chooser” window to allow schedulers to drag and drop the shift, employee, task or position onto the schedule with ease. With the latest release of the software, those chooser windows have become even…
Snap Schedule 365 has always embraced the concept of both shifts and locations. Every shift must be anchored to a location so an employee knows where to go for his assignment. This approach works well for organizations that have very few workplace locations. For instance, a hospital might have locations defined as: Emergency Department, General…
While the availability of employees is something that is fairly predictable from week to week, there are often times when an employee’s availability changes on specific days. Historically, in order for the scheduler to ensure an employee was not asked to work during a time when he is not available, the scheduler used specific time…
In a recent update to Snap Schedule 365, we made an improvement to the Task View by Employee that reduced the size of task assignments by 10 pixels (5 pixels of padding on both the top and bottom). We did this to allow the underlying shift assignment to be visible even when the task assignments…
