GlassRota Publish Assistant

One rota. Two directions. No rip-and-replace.

Use GlassRota as the intelligent workshop around the rota platform your company already requires. Draft and improve a rota in GlassRota before publishing it outward, or bring an existing rota inward to audit it through a new operational lens.

Included with GlassRota Standard and Enterprise. Originally conceived as an Enterprise-only capability, Publish Assistant is now a core feature. Keep the platform. Improve the process.

The two-way door

Start on either side

The Publish Assistant connects the rota your company records with the richer planning and diagnostic environment available inside GlassRota.

GlassRota to existing platform

Build smarter, then publish where required

Use GlassRota as the drafting and decision-making environment, then hand the approved rota back to the system used by HR or Payroll.

Draft

Build the week with fast grid controls and templates, with Smart Suggest or Auto-Assign available on Enterprise.

Check

Review coverage, wage performance, compliance, welfare and operational warnings.

Approve

Close the week and complete the normal management review before publication.

Publish

Create the Publish Pack and use the browser extension on a supported destination platform.

Existing platform to GlassRota

Bring the rota in and look again

Extract an existing rota from a supported platform and bring it into GlassRota for a structured audit, improvement pass or operational briefing.

Extract

Open the existing rota and trigger the Publish Assistant on the supported source page.

Import

Bring the captured rota into the correct GlassRota venue and week.

Audit

View the same rota against pars, events, deployment, cost, compliance and people constraints.

Improve or brief

Make informed changes, create a brief sheet, or publish the improved rota back through the supported workflow.

A new lens for an existing rota

The same shifts can tell you much more

Importing a rota is not merely a file transfer. It gives the operator a chance to inspect the week using context and controls that may not exist in the original platform.

Pars

Define the staffing requirement for each service period and identify where scheduled coverage falls short.

Deployment graph

See how scheduled people and required coverage change across opening, peak, recovery and close.

Event overlays

Place fixtures, bookings and local demand changes directly against the day they will affect.

Temporary pars

Change the staffing requirement for an exceptional service without distorting the venue's normal operating pattern.

Brief sheets

Turn the rota, events and shift context into a practical pre-service document for the management team.

Smart Suggest, Enterprise

Explore stronger assignment options using availability, hours, suitability and the wider shape of the rota.

Compatibility

Built around supported browser workflows

The Publish Assistant works through specific, tested platform pages and versions. It does not bypass the operator's normal login, permissions or approval responsibilities.

Import and publishing capability can vary by platform and version. We verify the required workflow before a rollout rather than pretending every browser-based rota system behaves identically.

Assessment

You stay in control

The extension runs when an authorised operator triggers it, and the rota should be reviewed before final submission.

Your existing access remains in place

The Publish Assistant does not replace platform login credentials or bypass the permissions already applied by your company.

No universal integration claim

Support is tested against specific pages and versions so rollout decisions are based on a real workflow.

Old rota. New tricks.

Build it where it is smartest.
Publish it where it is required.

Start with one venue and one real week. Use GlassRota to improve the decisions, then keep the existing platform that the rest of the company depends on.
