Builder Help Strip

Manager build workflow: Build → Review → Publish → Employee View

Quick links are consolidated here so managers do not have to hunt through the larger navigation. This strip is visual only. It does not change saves, publishing, schedule rows, employee views, notifications, locking, payroll, Time Clock, POS, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Phase 25P-1 only adds clarity and support links. It does not change draft saves, publishing, schedule locking, employee text/email notifications, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Draft Status / Publish Readiness

Treat this as draft work until the manager intentionally publishes it.

Before publishing, confirm the date range, employee coverage, shift times, and soft conflicts. Once published, employees should use the Employee Portal and self-view pages for their final schedule.

Phase 25P-2 adds labels and readiness guidance only. It does not change save buttons, publish buttons, schedule rows, draft data, published data, employee visibility, notifications, locking, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Publish Review Reminder

Review soft conflicts before publishing this schedule.

Before the manager publishes, check unavailable blocks, appointments, manager holds, duplicate shift issues, and any soft conflicts. Conflicts are still review warnings only; this does not hard-block scheduling.

Phase 25P-3 adds this publish-review callout only. It does not change save buttons, publish buttons, draft rows, published rows, employee visibility, schedule locking, employee text/email notifications, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Open Soft Conflicts Publish Checklist Draft Labels Employee View
Unavailable Review unavailable blocks.
Appointments Check appointment overlap.
Manager Holds Review manager holds.
Coverage Check staff coverage.
Publish Publish after review.
Employee View Reminder

Employees should view published schedules only from Employee Portal.

After the manager publishes, employees should use Employee Portal, My Schedule, Weekly Schedule, or Print Weekly. Managers should avoid sending employees to builder, diagnostics, route catalogs, checklists, or developer tools.

Phase 25P-4 adds this reminder only. It does not change publish behavior, employee schedule data, employee permissions, schedule locking, employee text/email notifications, payroll, Time Clock, POS shifts, reservations, payments, waivers, or customer profiles.

Next Recommended Module

25J-4 — Real Publish Action Scaffold / Disabled POST Preview
Recommended next safe phase should add a disabled/guarded POST route scaffold that refuses to publish and only explains what would be required before enabling the real action.
  1. Add a clearly disabled POST scaffold route that returns safely without writing.
  2. Show required checks before any real copy/publish action may be enabled.
  3. Keep the action disabled and non-writing.
  4. Do not insert, update, delete, text, export, lock, publish, or integrate with payroll/Time Clock/POS.
