Generated from the roster — everyone rostered on (not RDO) for this date, grouped by shift time (Day, then Afternoon, then Night — same start times sit together). White fields are for the dispatcher: enter the unit, adjust meals, fatigue and comments as the shift runs. Only comments and an early finish flag the roster for review — entering a vehicle or meal time never does. If someone finishes before their rostered time, use "End shift early" — it records the time and reason, and opens a Cover Required entry on the Vacancy tracker.

Blacked out
Nominations over the weekly cap are flagged for negotiation. Only approved leave feeds the roster.
Every gap is a paired record: what was lost, and how it was covered. Open items (Cover Required) are the live worklist of unfilled shifts.
Gaps are unfilled slots below a station's minimum staffing. Spares are officers rostered on but supernumerary to their station's minimum.
Drag a spare onto a gap to assign them for that shift — they'll appear on the receiving station's duty sheet, and their home roster line will note where they moved.
⚠ Gaps — crew required 0
Drop a spare officer here to fill the gap.
◆ Spare officers 0

Assignments made for this date
Spares who have been moved to another station.Every roster, leave, duty sheet, and vacancy change that matters is recorded here — who, what, and when. This is the backbone the Public Records Act historical-record requirement calls for (see the intel document, section 11.2); a production build moves this to durable, compliant storage.
