The Shift Swap feature lets you request to swap one of your scheduled shifts with a colleague directly from the OrangeHRM mobile app, aligning with the web roster experience. This gives employees more flexibility to manage schedule changes without administrative effort.
Step 01 - In the mobile app, navigate to the Roster module. A shift that can be swapped is indicated by a green swap icon.
Step 02 - Tap the swap option on your shift. The app lists all applicable shifts you can swap with. Select the colleague's shift you want to swap with — the selected shift will be highlighted.
Step 03 - Tap Send Swap Request. A dialog appears where you can add an optional swap note. Add a note if needed, then confirm to send the request (or cancel it).
Step 04 - Sent requests are indicated with a count. If you send multiple requests, the count increases accordingly. You can cancel a sent request, or cancel several at once using the Cancel All option.
Step 05 - The colleague receives the request in their roster notifications and can accept or reject it. When they accept, the two shifts are swapped and reflected on both employees' rosters.
