You can restore a roster template by clicking the Payroll Settings menu and then clicking the Restore Deleted Items button. Select the Roster Template option from the drop-down and a list of all deleted roster templates will appear on your screen. Click the Restore button against the template you want to reinstate.

A handy feature that exists in the employee roster screen is the Employee Context Panel. It provides more information about the employee in general, as well as a summary of the employee's scheduling information.

The panel can be accessed by simply clicking on the employee's name within the roster. From within the panel, there are three tabs that you can click on to get more information about:

• The employee's work summary (shifts)
• The employee's availability (upcoming leave or unavailability)
• Work and selected personal details

By clicking on the More Details option, you will be directed to the Employee Details page.

Once you have brought up the copy roster template context panel using either of the methods above, you will be able to configure the following settings:

• Template Name: This field is empty by default and you can enter any template name you wish.
• Copy employees currently assigned to the template: By clicking this option, all employees currently assigned to shift/s will remain assigned. If you unselect this option, a warning will display to advise the copied template will reassign any shifts filled by employees to resources instead.
• Copy roster template: Once you have completed the above steps, click 'Copy roster template' to complete the process and duplicate the template.

Once the template has been successfully copied, you will be redirected depending on where you copied the template from.  If the roster template was copied from within the Roster Remplates context panel, you will be redirected back to the Roster Templates context panel.

Where the newly created/copied roster template will appear at the bottom of the list of templates. If the roster template was copied from within an existing roster template, you will be redirected to the open, newly created/copied roster template.  

The new roster template will copy over the same data that exists in the original template, with exceptions depending on the‌ configuration options. Specifically, the following roster settings will be copied to the new template:

• All shifts: Including break times, locations, work types, etc;
• Employees assigned to the shifts in the original template: This will be managed via the Copy Employees Currently Assigned to this Roster Template checkbox. Details of how this works are outlined in the previous section of the article;
• Time period span: If the template spans over several weeks/fortnights, all shifts for the existing timeframe will be copied over.

You only have access to roster templates that match your user permissions. Managers with restricted access, i.e. employee or location access, will be able to view a roster template as long as they have permission to view the employees/locations within the template.

• Full-access users.
• Users with Manage Employee Rosters access if the business setting allows managers to edit roster templates.

Full-Access users can see all roster templates because they have access to all employees. Managers with restricted access (i.e. employee or location access) will be able to view a roster template as long as they have permission to view the employees/locations within the template. Remember that they need to be given access first via the Payroll Settings Manage users page.

When a restricted user logs in and navigates to roster templates, the platform will show all non-deleted roster templates, even those that a user does not have permission to access. However, a padlock icon will display against the templates that they cannot access, along with the reason they do not have permission to access it.
