came up with were WhenToWork and SLING. Ultimately we chose SLING. It’s not perfect. It can be slow and doesn’t automate things as much as I’d like it to. But it can do what you’re looking for, I think. I will contact you directly with more information. But
wanted to share with the group as others may be looking into this as well. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"> I am looking for suggestions on scheduling software. I help schedule a team of about 30, each day 10-20 staff work. Currently we have staff enter requests onto a Google Calendar and then we populate a
Google Sheet with the vacation, training, etc, and specific tasks they do each day. We build the daily schedule off a template, so are not recreating everything each week. I like that you can easily see at a glance who is doing what each hour, but am hoping
to find something that can automate more of the process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"> We have looked at products such as ClickUp, Sling, Shift by Microsoft Teams, When I Work, and Skedda. However, these all tend to schedule an entire shift and we are looking for something that can schedule
tasks by the hours, such as reference desk, bookdrop, shelving, as well as input the data from Google Calendar. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"> Does a magical product like this exist?! If you have any scheduling software you enjoy I'd love to hear what you use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
