See Your Schedule at a Glance

Command Established gives your department a complete scheduling system—monthly and weekly calendar views, shift assignments, platoon rotation, and time-off request management. Everyone knows when they're working.

See Your Schedule at a Glance

The Schedule module gives you month, week, and day calendar views so you can see staffing at whatever level of detail you need. The monthly view is great for planning ahead—see who's on shift and who's off across the entire month at a glance.

The monthly calendar shows each day's assignments summarized in the calendar cells. Color coding by platoon or shift makes it easy to see your rotation pattern at a glance and spot gaps before they become problems.

The weekly view drills into individual day assignments, showing exactly who is working each shift.

Assign Personnel to Positions

The shift assignments panel lets you place personnel into specific positions for each shift. Assign members to apparatus positions—driver, officer, firefighter—and track minimum staffing requirements across your stations.

Assignments pull directly from your personnel roster. When someone is reassigned or calls in, updating the schedule takes seconds. The system tracks who filled each position so you have a complete record of staffing for every shift.

Manage Platoons and Rotation Patterns

Define platoon groups that match how your department organizes its workforce. Command Established supports configurable shift rotation patterns—24/48, Kelly, or any custom cycle that fits your department's schedule.

Once your platoons and rotation patterns are configured, the schedule is generated automatically. Each member is assigned to a platoon, and the system populates shifts accordingly. Changes to the pattern propagate forward automatically.

Platoon configuration—define your shift groups and rotation pattern once, and the schedule is populated automatically.

Handle Time-Off and Schedule Exceptions

Personnel can submit time-off requests directly in Command Established, and officers can approve or deny them from the same screen. Approved requests automatically update the schedule so the gap is visible immediately.

Schedule exceptions—trades, overtime, and special assignments—are tracked separately from the base rotation so your records accurately reflect who actually worked each shift. The exception log is always available for payroll and reporting.
