My On-Call Shifts

An at-a-glance view of your on-call shifts

My On-Call Shifts allows users to view their current and upcoming on-call responsibilities in a single, easy-to-use view, where they can also create overrides for any of their shifts. My On-Call Shifts is also available as a widget on the right side of the Incidents page, which displays a user’s current shift and when they are on call next.

Schedules and Escalation Policies

My On-Call Shifts displays schedule shifts if the schedule is part of an active escalation policy. If you have shifts on a schedule that do not appear in My On-Call Shifts, please check that the schedule on an escalation policy, and that a service uses the escalation policy.
