We have produced a computer video about using Visual Rota
You will need to download the video file zipvideo.exe(click here to download) and this contains the video player and 4 videos about using Visual Rota. The videos will show you how easy it is to use to enter shifts. (to save space we have recorded in 16 colours, hence some of the colours revert to grey, rather than shades of red, blue and yellow)

The video shows you how to enter shifts which have been pre-defined as A for an afternoon shift, M for a morning shift and E for an early shift.

You will see how to zoom in, and how the numbers of staff on duty change as shifts are entered.

You will see the hours and cash pages and later how these are updated automatically every time you enter a shift.

We will then introduce a new shift' L for late, which the computer automatically examines and because it has not been used previously, it starts the 'shift wizard'

The 'shift wizard' asks all the relevent question it needs about the shift, and it can then be used in future.
