Duties breaks down what you’re doing during a shift — not just what time you’re on.

What you’ll see

A timeline for a single day, with one row per duty block:
  • Time range — when this block starts and ends
  • Label — what the block is (e.g. “Console 3 Primary”, “Break — relief from S. Holloway”, “Training — T. Alvarez”)
Use the Today / Prev / Next buttons to move between days.

Why it matters

Duties are most common in dispatch and similar 24/7 ops where:
  • You need to know when your break is
  • You might be covering someone during their break
  • You need to know when training is happening
  • You need to know when you’re primary on a specific console
The timeline is generated from duty plans (see Duty plans) or assigned ad-hoc by a supervisor.

Duties vs. shifts

  • A shift is a block of time you’re working.
  • A duty is a sub-block within a shift with a specific task.
A 10-hour shift might be broken into 5 duty rows (2h primary, 2h secondary, 1h break, 3h primary, 2h training).
