Text Messaging for Cancelled Shifts
Boomerang provides TEXT messaging for cancelled shifts. You can use this new feature to mange "flex up" shifts, "on call" shifts and other shift cancellations to manage your schedule to your census better.
First: Resources: edit your profile to include at least one text message capable phone, choose your wireless provider and update your account.
Second: Staffers: post and manage your contingency shifts: in this case primarily flex up or on call shifts for additional resource planning that may need to be quickly cancelled due to census drop
Staffers: when you decide to cancel this shift, click (x) to cancel and you will be shown a list of staff that are confirmed into that shift and their text message number ( if the staff member has entered the data): you can cancel all or some of the resources: they will receive a text message on their cell phone. Easy and efficient

New Feature For Boomerang: TEXT Messaging
We have added a new feature to Boomerang.... TEXT Messaging:
The path is as follows: Manage Personel> Phone List> you will see a check box to message ALL or some of your employees....make your selection and click "Send Text Message" this brings up a box for FREE TEXT ...insert your message and send. Resources must have 1 phone number, one selected text capable phone number ( from their listed) and one carrier selected. YES, we can add smaller carriers and if you just e-mail me with their name and technical support desk phone number ( or text message address, if you know it) we can get it on the list......not ALL providers provide the service....and we will do our best to get your add requests turned around asap.
There are several new features being released recently including many features created at the request of users.
The features are;
1) A printable phone list. This feature is found under manage personell, in the blue bar
2) A Cancel Reason Report. This report lists all the reasons a resource cancels out of a confirmed shift, or is cancelled by a facility. managers can report on sick call offs, floats to other units. This report is under the Lists and Reports header.
3) A printable, minimal schedule data view. This feature is found on the main page, drop down menu and is designed to help with a printable schedule. PLEASE keep in mind, that since schedules are operationalized on the web, "printed version" are outdated almost as quickly as it is printed. The current schedule data is always and only available on-line.
4) A bi-weekly rotating auto-scheduler. Please call the help desk to implement this feature. This feature allows automation of rotating weekends for example.
The features will begin soon on the Mountain time zone server, followed by Central, Eastern and finally Arizona.
