Use Mobile Schedules

Review schedules and manage overrides in the mobile app

The PagerDuty mobile app is designed with a responder's experience in mind. You can easily access schedules, create overrides, and view previous and future on-call shifts.

📘

Edit Schedules

If you would like to make structural changes to your schedules, such as adding/removing users from the rotation or adjusting shift lengths, you can do that in the web app. Please refer to Edit Schedules for more information.

View Schedules

To browse schedules in the mobile app, navigate to More Schedules. You will be presented with two tabs: My Teams to view schedules associated with your Teams, and All to view all schedules in your organization’s account.

Select a schedule from the list to see its detailed view. A two-week calendar view is displayed at the top. Select a specific day or scroll through the timeline to find a particular shift. A shift’s duration is displayed for each entry, even if the shift spans multiple days.
