Exporting rosters

Download the week you're viewing as a spreadsheet (CSV), a printable PDF, or a calendar (ICS) file.

Need the roster outside Shiftly — to print it, drop it in a spreadsheet, or add it to a calendar? The scheduler exports the week you're viewing in three formats.

Who this is for

Owners and managers using the Shiftly web platform to run your business.

Before you start

  • You're an owner or a manager with access to the location you're rostering.
  • Open Roster, pick the location, and move to the week you want — every export covers the week currently on screen, so navigate there first.
  • The PDF follows your current view, so switch between View by position and View by staff before you export if it matters — see Using the scheduler.

Export the week

Open the export menu

Select Export in the header (top right) and pick a format. All three options are greyed out when the week has no shifts.

The Export menu open on the scheduler, showing Download as CSV, Download as PDF, and Download calendar events

Download as CSV

A spreadsheet you can open in Excel or Google Sheets. There's one row per shift, with these columns:

  • Date, Position, Employee, Start Time, End Time, Duration (Hours)

Open shifts show Open in the Employee column. The file is named with the date and location.

Download as PDF

A clean, printable roster laid out like the grid — handy for pinning up in the back of house.

A PDF export of the roster: a 'Shiftly — Surry Hills' header with the week's dates, positions down the side, days across the top, and each shift showing the staff member and time

The PDF matches your current view: in View by position the rows are positions (as above); in View by staff the rows are people. So set the view you want before you export.

Download calendar events

Download calendar events gives you an .ics file — the standard calendar format. Open or import it to drop the week's shifts into a calendar:

  • Google Calendar — Settings → Import & export → Import, and choose the file.
  • Apple Calendar — File → Import.
  • Outlook — Add calendar → Upload from file.
