Manage the roster

Agencies have two pages that look similar but do very different things: Escorts and Roster. This article explains the difference and how to use Roster.

Escorts vs Roster

Escorts (sidebar, people icon) is for managing the profiles themselves: who works under your agency, their photos, services, rates, contact details, verification. This is a long-lived list — escorts join and leave occasionally, but on any given day the list does not change. See Add a new escort for how to create a new escort entry.

Roster (sidebar, calendar icon) is for managing this week's schedule: which escorts are working which days, and whether anyone is off today. This changes every week.

In short: Escorts answers "who is in our agency?", Roster answers "who is working this week?"

The Roster page

Open Roster from the sidebar. The page is a weekly grid: escorts as rows on the left, days of the week as columns across the top.

Each cell is one shift for one escort on one day. The legend at the top shows the colour for a scheduled shift (filled) versus an available slot you can click to fill (the + icon). The week label and the arrows next to it move you between weeks. The Today button jumps back to the current week from anywhere.

Set a shift

Click any + cell to set a shift. A small dialog opens; type a start time and end time, then save. The cell fills with the shift colour and the times are visible inside it.

To set the same shift across many days at once, use a template (see below). To clear a shift, click it and delete.

Templates

Click Templates at the top of the page. You see preset shifts (Day, Evening, Night, plus any custom templates you have created) and a button to create a new one. Pick a template and choose which escorts and which days it should apply to. The template fills those cells in one step.

Use templates when most of your roster runs the same shift week after week.

Copy previous week

If your weekly schedule does not change much, click Copy Week at the top of the page to copy last week's shifts into the currently-shown week. To do it for only some escorts instead of everyone, tick the boxes on those escorts' rows first, then use the per-row Copy previous week action.

Mark off today

On any escort's row, click the moon icon (next to the escort's avatar). This marks them off for the rest of today only. Their listing still appears in the directory but with an "offline / unavailable today" tag, and they re-appear normally tomorrow morning.

Use this for last-minute calls (sick, double-booked, just done for the day). It does not change their weekly roster or their listing. Click the moon icon again to undo.

Bulk actions

Tick the checkbox next to one or more escorts on the left, then use the bulk-action menu that appears at the top of the table to apply a template, copy previous week, or mark off-today across all the selected escorts at once.

What clients see

Roster shifts feed into the "available now" signal on each escort's public listing. If an escort has a shift today and is not marked off today, they show as available; otherwise they show offline. The listing itself stays visible either way unless the escort's profile is taken offline (see Go offline).
