Articles on: Schedule Planning

Why does my schedule print out empty when I have shifts planned?

An empty or incomplete PDF almost always has one of two causes: the schedule has not been published, or you are exporting a different view than you think. Below are both situations and what to do.

The schedule has not been published

The PDF export covers published shifts only. As long as the schedule is a draft, nothing goes into the printout — hence an empty file, even though you can see the shifts laid out on the screen.

Finish laying out the schedule.
Click "Publish" in the top right corner (the number of unpublished shifts is shown in brackets).
Only now run the "Export" and choose a format.

Important: Only published shifts go into the PDF. If part of the layout was still a draft, the printout will be incomplete — publish the whole period before exporting. Details: [Publishing schedule changes](Publikowanie zmian w grafiku).

You are exporting a different view than you think

The PDF file reflects exactly the current view: the chosen location, the window range (Week / 2 weeks / 4 weeks / Month) and the period you have set. If a filter narrows the schedule down to a period with no shifts, or to a location you have not staffed — the printout will come out empty.

Before exporting, check in the bar on the left:

"Location" — whether the one you want to print is selected.
the window range — "Week", "2 weeks", "4 weeks" or "Month".
the period — scroll with the ◄ ► arrows to the right week or month.

Remember: You download what you have on the screen. If you want a monthly printout or a single location — set that view and period first, then export.

How to download the schedule step by step and which formats are available — see [Exporting the schedule to PDF and Excel](Eksport grafiku do PDF i Excel).
