Activities on Mobile - Shifton Help

View and complete assigned activities during your shifts using the Shifton mobile app.

What Is This?

Activities are specific tasks or duties assigned to you within a shift. For example, a retail worker might have activities like “stock shelves” or “clean display area” during their shift. The mobile app lets you view your assigned activities, see their scheduled times, and mark them as started or completed as you work through your shift.

FAQ

Q: Can I skip a task?
A: Tasks are assigned by your manager. If you cannot complete one, contact your manager rather than skipping it.

Q: Can I create tasks from the mobile app?
A: No. Tasks are created and assigned by managers in the web version. The mobile app is for viewing and completing assigned tasks only.

Q: The Tasks section is not visible in the app — why?
A: Ensure that tasks have been assigned to you by your manager, and that the Activities feature is included in your company’s plan.

Q: What if I start a task late?
A: The app records the actual check-in time. Late starts may be visible to your manager in reports.
