What Are Time Blocks?

Time blocks are scheduled instances of tasks for specific team members on specific days. They represent “who does what, and when” — the core of BFF’s shift-based scheduling.

The Weekly Schedule View

Navigate to Schedule in the sidebar to see the weekly view. It displays:

  • Columns for each day of the week
  • Rows for each team member
  • Color-coded blocks representing scheduled tasks
  • Time labels showing start and end times

Creating a Time Block

  1. Navigate to the Schedule page
  2. Click on an empty slot for a team member on a specific day
  3. Select the task to schedule
  4. Set the start time and end time
  5. Click Save

The time block appears as a colored block on the schedule, using the task’s assigned color.

Editing Time Blocks

  • Click any existing time block to open its editor
  • Drag blocks to move them to different times or days
  • Resize by dragging the edges to adjust duration
  • Delete by opening the editor and clicking remove

Schedule Tips

  • Build schedules one week at a time for clarity
  • Use Job Role templates to quickly populate a full week for new hires
  • Check the monthly calendar view for a broader perspective
  • Time blocks are linked to the Impact Cascade Engine — if a task changes, affected blocks are flagged

Important: Only Managers, Team Leads, and Admins can create and modify schedules for team members. Team Members can view their own schedule.
