On-Call Scheduling
IT-Conductor’s On-Call Scheduling feature provides flexible shift and rotation configurations to meet organizational needs. Users can define multiple shifts per organization and set up "rotations" for on-call rosters specific to different time zones. The monthly and weekday schedules ensure accuracy in scheduling. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with time-off schedules, incorporating time-off requests and other calendar events into on-call shift assignments.
Furthermore, it is fully integrated into IT-Conductor's notification architecture, enhancing communication efficiency. Shifts can be utilized as notification targets within subscriptions and as recipients for various functionalities, including activity log delivery and reports, facilitating comprehensive monitoring and reporting within the IT infrastructure.
