NextGen’s employee scheduling software helps managers build reliable rosters in minutes and gives employees a clear view of their shifts, time-off, and availability. New updates add powerful filters, pending-request visuals (gray lines), and request timestamps for quicker decisions—across multiple locations and departments.
Shift color-coded blocks for multiple locations make coverage obvious at a glance.
Filter by department, location, role, or employee to avoid cross-site overlap.
Pre-filling shifts* reuses proven patterns (last week/period), so most schedules start 80% done.
Drag to adjust; publish when ready.
*Pre-filling = duplicating a prior schedule as a starting point.
Quickly focus your grid with Show:
Combine filters (e.g., Schedule + Unavailable) to spot conflicts and fix them before you publish.
