This is a complete guide on how to book locums that have applied for shifts with your company. Including content on how to reject applications, book individual shifts and multi-book shifts.

Firstly, you will need to navigate to the ‘Shifts’ tab located on the top left hand side of the main navigation panel.

You must utilise the filters available on the left hand side to select either ‘Shifts’ or ‘Applicants’ under the ‘Applications’ tab.

If you select on the option ‘Shifts’ then the live shifts with applicants will display:

If you select on the filterable option ‘Applicants’ then the applicants that have applied for your live shifts will display:

Once you have located the shift that you wish to review applications for, click on the shift dates as this is a hyperlink that will bring you to the shift details screen:

On the shift details screen, under the ‘Applicants’ heading, you will be able to view any applicants that have applied for this particular shift.

On the applicants display, you will note the number displayed above their profile image. This is to indicate the total number of shifts the locum has applied for at this location.

Prior to booking, you can review the locum’s profile by either clicking on the locum's name, as this is a hyperlink, or by selecting the ‘View Profile’ option.

Once selected, you’ll be able to navigate the tabs displayed on the left hand side to review the applicant.

Once you’ve reviewed the application, you will have the option to ‘Book’ the individual shift, ‘Book All’ the shifts applied to at this location or ‘Reject’ the locum.

If you select the grey ‘Reject’ button, the ‘Application Rejection’ modal will display.

Here if you wish you can free text in additional information of your reason for rejection. Once populated select the red ‘Confirm Rejection’ button.

Alternatively, if you select the green ‘Book All’ button, you’ll be presented with all the Locum’s applications at this location:

From this modal, you can either select the option ‘Book All Shifts’, to book the locum in for all shifts applied for at this location or you can manually select the ‘Book’ button next to each of the displayed shifts to book the locum in for the individual shift.

Whereas, If you select the green ‘Book’ button, the shift status will update to ‘Booked’.
