# My Rota

> Plan shifts by week, then print them, export them or see them on a map

**My Rota** is where you plan who works where and when. It has three tabs:

* **Summary** - Every shift for the period in a table
* **Live Preview** - The rota as a printable weekly grid, with an Excel download
* **Map View** - Every home with shifts on a map, day by day

![My Rota page showing the filter bar, the Summary tab and a table of shifts with edit and delete buttons](https://mintcdn.com/rotapad/h_J-CEP3ozUHuLZ-/images/my-rota-wireframe.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=h_J-CEP3ozUHuLZ-\&q=85\&s=ecaf079f359366f932969e78146a48a6)

## Open My Rota

Click **My Rota** in the sidebar under **Everyday**.

## Choose what to show

Use the bar at the top of the page:

1. Click the date to choose the week or date range.
2. Pick a **staff member**, **customer** or **home** to narrow the list.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Staff only see their own shifts, so they only get the date picker. Team leads, support and admins see every shift and all the filters. See [Roles and permissions](https://support.rotapad.com/roles-and-permissions.md).

## Read the table

Each row is one shift and shows:

* **Date** - The day of the shift
* **Staff** - Who is working it
* **Home** and **Customer** - Where it takes place
* **Shift type** - For example Long Day or Waking Night
* **Duration** - Start and end time
* **Hours** - Length of the shift

Click a column's filter icon to narrow the table further, for example to one shift type. The **Live Preview** and **Map View** tabs follow those filters too.

## Add a shift

* Click **⋮** at the top right, then **Add Rota**.
* On a phone, tap the round **+** button at the bottom of the screen.

See [Add or edit a shift](https://support.rotapad.com/add-edit-rota.md) for the form.

## Edit or delete a shift

Use the buttons at the end of the row:

* **✎ Edit rota** - Opens the shift in the form. You can also double-click the row.
* **🗑 Delete rota** - Asks you to confirm, then removes the shift.

> [!TIP]
>
> The staff member is emailed whenever you add, move, change or cancel their shift. See [Rota emails](https://support.rotapad.com/rota-emails.md).
