Publishing

Publishing turns a draft assignment into a live one. Everyone assigned is notified.

How to publish

  1. Open the assignment.
  2. Click Publish.
  3. Confirm.

Publish button

Publish confirmation

FlightDeck sends:

  • A push notification to every device the assignee has enabled notifications on.
  • An email as a backup.

Bulk publishing

If you've created a batch of drafts (for example, a whole week of planning), you can publish them together. A single summary notification is sent per person rather than one per assignment, so you don't spam the team.

Moving a published assignment

Managers and admins can move a published assignment, but doing so reverts it to a draft with a ghost of the original position shown on the timeline. This makes it clear that:

  • The assignee was originally told a different plan.
  • The change hasn't gone out yet.

Once you're happy with the new dates, publish again to send the update.
