Use Mobile Schedules

The PagerDuty mobile app is designed with the responder 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 or removing users from the rotation or adjusting shift lengths, you can do that in the web app. Refer to Edit Schedules for more information.

View Schedules

To browse schedules in the mobile app, navigate to More Schedules. The mobile app presents two tabs: My Teams to view schedules associated with your Teams, and All to view all schedules in your organization account.

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