Everything in DutyFlip starts with your roster: it's how the app knows which swaps fit you. There are three ways in, and each takes less than a minute.
From your calendar (RosterBuster users)
If RosterBuster syncs your roster to your phone's calendar, DutyFlip can read it from there. No PDF needed.
- On Home, tap Import a new roster.
- Tap From your calendar and allow calendar access the first time.
- Pick your roster calendar. DutyFlip suggests the likely one.
- Choose This month, Next month or Both, and tap Import.
- Check the duties, then tap Looks right — save.
Next time it remembers your calendar, so updating takes two taps. DutyFlip only reads the calendar you pick, on your phone, and never writes to it.
From the roster PDF
- On Home, tap Import a new roster.
- Tap From a roster PDF and pick the file.
- Check the duties, then tap Looks right — save.
RosterBuster's free Fridge Calendar PDF works too (in RosterBuster: Settings › Export › Fridge Calendar).
Share it straight to DutyFlip
The quickest of all. Open your roster wherever it is (in your browser, Files or an email), tap Share and choose DutyFlip. You land straight on the preview.
On a work PC, print the duty sheet using "Save as PDF", not "Microsoft Print to PDF". The second one makes a picture of the page that can't be read.
What happens to the file
Your PDF is read in memory and thrown away straight away. Only the duties you confirm are kept. Importing a newer roster for the same dates replaces those days, and any offers or requests you have move across to the new copy of each duty.
Tip: times come in as UTC, exactly as on your roster. If you'd rather see local times, change it in Profile › Times.
