The Shifts panel
Click Shifts at the top-left of the rota grid. This is where you set up shift templates and specify how many people you need on each shift per day of the week.
Setting counts per day
Each shift template has a count for each day of the week — Mon through Sun. Set the number you need on each day. If you do not need a particular shift on a given day, set it to zero.
The feasibility dashboard
Before solving, you can check whether your requirements are achievable given your current staff. Click the gaps badge (for example ⚠ 3 gaps) to open the Feasibility Check window. It shows which days have coverage gaps and why: not enough staff available, contracted hours already used, or availability clashes. If nobody on your team is set up to work a role, it says so in plain words and gives you a button for each person, so you can open them and tick the roles they cover.
The Open shifts row
After solving, any unfilled requirement slots appear in the Open shifts row at the bottom of the grid. Each chip shows which template it came from. You can drag a chip to a staff cell to assign it manually.
