Leave and rotations

Leave and contract rotations appear as black blocks on the schedule so they're instantly recognisable.

Leave and rotation blocks

Adding leave

  1. Open a person's row and drag to create a block, or use the Add leave action.
  2. Choose the leave type (annual, sick, contract rotation, etc.).
  3. Save.

Leave blocks are visible to everyone but don't send push notifications the way assignments do.

Contract rotations (2-week series)

Rotation leave is created as a repeating series (for example, 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off). When you move or resize one of these blocks, FlightDeck asks:

  • Edit this occurrence — only this specific week is changed.
  • Edit the whole series — the rule changes going forward.

Pick the option that matches your intent. Use "this occurrence" for one-off swaps, and "series" when the person's rotation pattern itself is changing.
