Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions:

•	I have scheduled shifts in the Current Schedule, but my employees can't see their schedule. Instead they get the message "This week is outside of your viewable range." What is wrong?

You must post your schedule in order for your employees to view it. As you go forward in time, creating new schedules for each week, you don't want your employees to look at the schedule before you are done with those future weeks. Your employees will always see the schedule only from the current date through the date to which you have posted the schedule. For help on how to post, look at the tutorial under "Scheduling each week" in the help.

•	When I export my schedule to Excel I see a quick window but nothing much happens.

Go to Company Settings, scroll to the very bottom, and answer Yes to the question "Show Excel export in frame?" Then try it again. You can copy and paste the data from there into your own Excel spreadsheet.

•	How quickly can my employees see changes to the schedule?

As soon as you post your schedule your employees can view any changes. All changes to the schedule occur in real time.

•	Is my data secure?

All access inside your account is secured by SSL technology. Your information is backed up every 10 minutes.

•	I love the idea of automatic scheduling, but I have a situation that's more complicated, and a set of standard rules doesn't do the trick. What can I do?
