How do I schedule a worker across multiple days at once?
Assign a worker to a project one day at a time, or set up a repeating schedule so you don't have to rebuild it every day.
Quick answer
There's no single action that schedules a worker across several different days in one step. Instead, either drag or assign the worker onto each day cell you need, or — if the same days repeat week to week — use the Repeat toggle on a card to set a recurring schedule.
Overview
There are two common situations here, and they're handled differently. If a worker is on the same project for a run of different, one-off days this week (say, Tuesday and Thursday but not the days between), you assign them to each day cell individually — there's no multi-day drag gesture. If instead the worker is on the same project the same days every week (say, every Monday through Friday), recurrence is the better tool: set it up once on a card and it repeats until an end date you choose. This article covers the manual, day-by-day approach; see Setting up a repeating schedule for the recurrence path.
Before you begin
- Scheduling across days is done by an admin in the web portal.
- The project and worker must already exist in Corfix.
- Corfix allows a worker to be assigned to more than one project on the same day, so double check each day as you go.
Steps
- Open the Resources panel and find the worker under the Workers tab.
- Assign the first day. Drag the worker onto the day cell for the first date you need, or use the + and the Edit Assignment drawer.
- Repeat for each additional day. Go back to the Resources panel and drag the same worker onto the next day cell you need, for as many days as required.
- Check availability as you go. Hover the worker's card in Resources to see "X of 7 days this week" with each day marked free or not, so you don't double-book them without meaning to.
- Save each card as you go — each day is its own card, so each needs its own save.
Use cases
- Irregular coverage: a worker covers a project on non-consecutive days this week, like Tuesday and Friday only.
- Short-term assignment: a worker fills in for a few specific days without needing an ongoing recurring schedule.
Troubleshooting
Is there a faster way than doing each day one at a time? If the days repeat on the same weekdays going forward, use Repeat on the card instead — see Setting up a repeating schedule. For a one-off mix of days this week only, assigning each day individually is the way to do it.
How do I know if the worker is already busy on a day I want to assign them? Hover their card in the Resources panel to see their availability for the week before you assign them.
