Dive integration ​

The Shift Plan and the Dive module share the same staff records, so the roster and dive scheduling work hand in hand: dive pickers show who is actually rostered, and staffing a trip can write the missing shift back into the plan.

Off-shift staff are labeled, not hidden ​

With the Shift Plan module on, the guide and crew pickers in the Dive module (boat dispatch, trip dialogs, and the dive log) still offer all active staff — but anyone who is not on shift during the trip's or dive's time window is labeled not on shift. On shift means a Confirmed or Requested shift overlapping the date and time; staff on sick leave don't count.

So you can always see at a glance whether the person you're about to assign is actually rostered — without the roster ever blocking an assignment.

Assigning off-shift staff requests the shift ​

When you save a trip or a dive with off-shift staff assigned — the lead guide, crew members, or group guides — Gurita automatically creates a Requested shift in the Shift Plan for each of them, covering exactly the trip's (or dive's) time window. A message such as "2 shift requests created in the shift plan" confirms it.

The requested shifts appear on the Roster as dashed chips, where a planner can review and confirm them like any other request. Once requested, the person counts as on shift for that window — assigning them again won't create duplicates.

Note: If a requested shift can't be created — for example because the person has a sick shift in that window — the assignment still goes through; only the roster entry is skipped.

Trips on the roster ​

The relationship runs the other way too: scheduled dive trips appear as read-only trip chips on the roster (see The Roster), so a planner can see the boat schedule alongside who's working.

Who can access this ​

No extra permission — this is automatic wherever the Dive module's guide/crew pickers appear, whenever the Shift Plan module is active. Managing trips and dives requires the usual Dive permissions.

  • Dive — boat dispatch, trip manifests, and the dive log where the labeling applies.
  • The Roster — where auto-requested shifts land for review and confirmation.
