Rotaville Rota Mangement Software & Employee Scheduling

2010-09-20T13:46:29Z

My new website project staff rota management using Rotaville is now live!

Rotaville inherits much of the technology that is used to power Big.first.name Name Badge Software.

Rotaville is a new online webapp for managing workplace rotas/rosters/staff schedules. Staff and Shifts can be easily scheduled by managers with an intuitive drag 'n' drop real-time web user interface.

Many business still rely on pen and paper or they are using an excel spreedsheet that is typically only available on the managers PC. Rotaville puts the schedule online so that it's available for all staff members to access from any computer. An iPhone or Android mobile version of the website is also available so that staff can check their shift times anytime anywhere.

Rotaville generates weekly schedules in a calendar format style that can be printed or emailed in PDF format.

Other features include reminder notifications, multiple manager support, staff list printing, and workplace discussion forums.

Check out Rotaville Rota Software at http://rotaville.com/.

Having alignment problems when you print?

2009-01-21T21:29:03Z

When printing out your nametags and name badges it sometimes can be hard to align the printer correctly. Printing on plain paper first can help your with this.

It's important to check that the print settings on your computer isn't scaling the print job up or down in size. Check that Page Scaling is set to "None" (and not say "Shrink to Printable Area").
