Use the week view to plan who works each day.

For center admins using Bloomily on a computer. The orange outline shows where to look or click.

Before you can schedule someone

Add the person to your team first. The grid shows people scheduled or placed on the selected week. Search can find other active team members; use Put someone on the week to add someone who is not on that week yet.

Scheduling them is what makes them appear elsewhere. Staff show on the Day Board only for days they have been given shifts on — a person added to your team but never scheduled won't appear on any day's room plan.

1. Open Schedule

Click Team on the left. Then click Schedule.

Open Schedule — Click Team on the left. Then click Schedule.

Good to know

The weekly plan does not show who has clocked in. Use Team → Attendance for that.

Walkthrough: Schedule Overview

  1. Open Team > Schedule.

  2. Use the week controls, Day view and staff or room search to set the scope.

  3. Review coverage warnings, then choose Room or Name to organize the schedule.

  4. Use the week menu for the available scheduling tools and Attendance to review worked time separately.

Scheduled shifts and worked hours are different records. A schedule or coverage warning does not itself establish actual attendance or payroll amounts.

The recording uses one center’s example data and settings. Names, amounts, dates, counts and policy choices are examples. Follow the written guidance above where recording labels differ.

Find actual clock records

Open Team → Attendance (previously Hours). Search for a person and use the status filters. A scheduled shift is a plan, not proof that the person worked it. Download attendance records exports raw clock records, which may be incomplete or unreviewed. Use Go to Timesheets to import, review and approve hours for payroll.
