From the staff rota spreadsheet to a roster that checks itself

Why the spreadsheet rota stops working

A spreadsheet doesn't know that Tom can't teach Youth Stage 2, that Saoirse marked Wednesday afternoon as busy yesterday, or that two courses have both been given the same safety boat. Someone has to remember, and in July nobody has time to.

• Clashes are spotted by eye, if at all
• Availability arrives by text and lives in someone's head
• Changes after printing don't reach everyone
• Certificates are checked separately, if they're checked

What changes with ActivityRoster

You still build the week the way you think about it: by day, by session. But every name you add is checked, every change is seen by the people it affects, and the rota you print is the one in everyone's app.

• Drag-and-drop roster board, by course or by person
• Double-bookings and gaps flagged as you go
• Availability from instructors' phones, shown alongside the roster
• Confirm each day; changes notify the people affected
• Printable rota and day sheets in the layout you choose

Bring your current rota across

Import your courses and staff from the spreadsheet you use now. ActivityRoster reads it, shows you what it found, and lets you correct anything before saving. Most schools are rostering the same afternoon.
