Timeline, time and audit
Shift handover
Build a handover from what happened in the last shift — what needs attention, activity by area, and who was active — for the person taking over.
On this page
A handover summarises what happened during a shift, so the next person can pick up without asking. Open Timeline → Handover.
Build a handover#
Choose the window it covers — the last 8 hours, the last 12 hours, the last 24 hours or since midnight. Unobits builds the handover from the activity stream:
- Needs attention — what went wrong or is still open. Nothing went wrong in this window when there is nothing.
- Activity by area — what happened in each module.
- On shift — who was active.
- Events, completed and people active — the counts for the window.
If nothing happened, the page says so and suggests widening the window — or handing over a quiet shift.
Who sees what#
A handover is built from the same stream as the rest of Timeline, so it only includes events from modules the person reading it can access.
When it is useful#
Handover is designed for businesses that run in shifts — clinics, hotels, field services, support teams — but it is just as useful at the end of a working day, or when someone returns from time off.
