Administrators can now attach daily notes to each schedule. This helps communicate extra information to employees about shifts. Notes can be
from both the desktop app and the mobile web app.
How to Locate the “Add Note” Link
Notes can be added by Admins with scheduling authority. The popup menu to ‘Add Note’ is found when you hover on schedule names or dates in the Work Schedule Views, My Schedule, and the Hourly Editor.
