How do I answer shift requests?
Under Shift requests on Work schedule: the colleague in a swap clicks Agree or No; then the manager or an admin clicks Approve or Decline.
Nobody has to check: the colleague in a swap gets an email, the approvers get the request by email (and chat if connected), and a number on Work schedule in the menu shows how many wait for you.
Only an approved request changes the schedule. A manager can’t approve their own request or a swap they’re part of; an admin does. If admins have made the schedule view-only for managers, only admins approve.
