How to Create a New Rota Filter
This guide explains how to create and apply Rota Filters within the Cloud Roster system. Rota Filters allow you to customise the rota view so you can focus only on the staff, clients, roles, or service groups that are relevant to you.
By building and saving filters, you can quickly narrow or widen results using specific criteria, wildcards, and AND/OR logic. This makes it easier to manage large rotas, identify the information you need, and switch between different operational views without manually adjusting the screen each time.
