It is Chinese New Year and so tell me news of that planted of many resources which wandered far and wide the ancient plant of food, fuel, fiber cultivated for millennia. As we venture through the past 10,000 years we will explore and discover the plant from which cannabis derives. The many uses of the plant, hemp, cannabis, ashes, cannabis and religion, cannabis and medicine, cannabis and dear old Uncle Sam. And so our Odyssey begins today. Not far along the go and far away. It is current and in progress. So today we will meet one of the researchers, experts and all the above Martin Lee. And he is, I'm gonna read this. High Times, he was named by High Times as one of the 100 most influential people in campus. Wow. That's what they said. Wonderful and we're lucky to have it. Don't you think? Lee is also co-founder of the media research group Fair, Fair and Accuracy in Reporting and is the author of Acid Dreams, the Social History of LSD, the CIA, the 60s and beyond. Wow. That was my first book. That was your first book. You've done a few others. Yes. Okay, let's see. Rolling Stones. You appear in Rolling Stones, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Nation, Harper's, Daily Beast, Mother Jones and many others. Wow. Well, welcome. It's great to be back in Hawaiians. Wonderful to be on your show. It is wonderful.  I was absolutely delighted when Wendy said you would be here. So, welcome. And again, Kong He For Joy. That's a Chinese New Year, which is the red. Well, this is actually the third year in a row now. I'm coming back in February. It's for the big cannabis expo that's happening and it's very exciting. It's really, each year it gets better and better. We're looking forward to it this year, which will be at the Blaisdale Expo Center, from what I understand, big conference hall. So, it's great. Yes.  Last year I met people from Norway and Australia and Hawaii is a good place to come to for a conference. Especially in the winter. Yes. Exactly. And I'm hearing now this year of quite a few folks that I hadn't expected to see here. It will be here. So, I'm looking forward to connecting with old friends and this growing family. One of the amazing things about cannabis, it's kind of like a community building botanical. And I think that's one of its great aspects as a healing plant. It really brings people together and provides community. I think in terms of health issues and struggles that people have, community is very important. It is. When I first, we were doing, of course, programs that we were campaigning for 20 years on medical aid and dying. And my daughter, who was a hospice nurse, she said, Mom, you know, if you could use cannabis at the end of life, there wouldn't be the struggle. It wouldn't be the patient then is more comfortable. They are alert. They are aware. There's no fear of the end. Most people don't mind dying. They just don't want to suffer. And she said, you really have to take a look at what cannabis could be at the end of life. I think it's true. It's not a theoretical thing. We hear this for people. I hear this for my friends as their parents are going through that passage at the end of their life. The cannabis products really, really help. And we're talking about people who had nothing to do with cannabis, the whole life.  But it really helps ease the distress. Well, what happened after that, and I knew nothing, absolutely nothing about cannabis, except of course, all the nasty, all the nasty things that people have been saying, and the gateway drug and all these things. They still say these things. So that's when we started this show. As I said, this is a 10,000 year odyssey, and we are here to discover. So that's what the show has been about, the learning. And I felt that our audience was learning as much as I was. So we have talked to like Wendy, all of the quote experts, the people that are knowledgeable, the people that do talk about the end of life and how it eases. And it's been a real learning for me. You know, even the experts, for them also, it's a process of discovery. Because, you know, this plant, as you've pointed out, it's been an ally of humankind for going back 10,000 years, really. And we were cut off from our relationship with the plant because of prohibition. So we've had to kind of relearn how to relate to this plant. How do we make the best use of it for healing for other things? So it is a continual process of discovery. It's not like the experts know it all and are teaching us. It's that we're learning it together and sharing information that's been very much part of the medical marijuana experience or medical cannabis experience, as we prefer to say. Well, just as a tidbit, Hawaii was the first state to actually by law, change the name from marijuana to cannabis. Oh, I didn't know that. See, that's good. Because marijuana is a derogatory term. So they changed the name by law, had to reprint all the documents and everything. And they are moving toward reciprocity. And by that, you mean people from patients from other states can avail themselves of remedies at dispensaries. And that's good, because not every state does that. Some do some don't. I think that's a positive thing. So the law passed, but now to get the health department to work out the kinks is always forever. So tell me about you. Now, you are the one of the most influential people in cannabis. I love that phrase. Well, you know, I didn't choose that phrase, but I'm not going to accept that you can live with my focus these days is with Project CBD. Okay, there was an organization, it's an educational platform. It's formed about 10 years ago. And we were instrumental in Northern California, and introducing CBD, which is very hot now, yes, into the medical marijuana community in California. And at that time, we're talking 2009 2010, very few people knew about CBD as compared to TAC, the part that gets you high. And the medical marijuana experience up until then, our medical cannabis experience, really wasn't that it was simply about getting high. But that's really all that people had were varieties of cannabis and products that were strong on TAC, but people didn't know about CBD. It wasn't part of the experience. So for various reasons, we're in a position to know about CBD and to ultimately to help introduce it and get it going in California. And it's spread from there. So let's talk about the plant. Okay, you have this cannabis plant. And somehow you extract the CBD, and leave the THC from the plant in the plant. Well, it's a many step process. Yeah. So but you separate is where I'm going with that you separate the two. So that now you set your CBD without the THC. It could be done that way, or it could be done to end up that way. Although I think actually it's best in terms of Oh, to have it together, you know, and so really what I'm in the plant itself, the flower tops, the sticky resin is flower tops. That's where the action is. That's where the medicine is. That's where the CBD, the THC, the other components of the plant that are biologically active, that has an effect on human neurology, psychology, physiology. So when we talk about extracting oil from the cannabis plant, or the hemp plant, and hemp is a form of cannabis, really focusing on the the resin is flower tops, and then maybe some of the leaves as well that has the trichomes, which is the mushroom shaped modules, you might call it that where the where the resin is present. And once you extract that, and there's various ways you can extract the oil from the plant. Then you can you take that oil, which could be sort of a crude product, you might say, and then you might want to refine it, or productize it, make it into different kinds of products or make it into an oil that could be put in different products. Depending on the plant that you start with, that will determine what you're getting and how much CBD or THC or maybe both. If you want a pure CBD product, you'll have to go through extra steps with very sophisticated equipment to separate the CBD from the other parts. That's happening a lot these days. And sometimes that's helpful for people. But what we see is generally speaking, it's much more effective to work with the whole plant or a product derived from the whole plant than just one part of it. And CBD is really an astonishing astonishing molecule. It's very versatile. But it's not the only ball game. And I say that as the director of Project CBD, it's important to emphasize that. So what is CBD? What does that mean? The word? Cannabidiol, it stands for the compound in cannabis called cannabidiol. There's THC tetrahydrocannabinol, CBD cannabidiol. And there's many other components of the plant. But those are the main two in terms of what we refer to as cannabinoids, these unique compounds. So the cannabinoid somehow works with the cannabinoids in our body, is that? Yes, it does. You know, one of the way CBD works in many ways. And when you ingest it, it does many different things. It's what's called by scientists a promiscuous compound, because it literally works in over 60 different ways in the body that in the brain that scientists have thus far been named, or at least up until 2017, I'm sure since then they've discovered 20 more ways. But one of the ways it works, interestingly enough, is when you ingest it, it makes our own cannabinoids, our natural endocannabinoids endogenous from within cannabinoids, it boosts the levels of them in our brain and our body. And that has a therapeutic effect, it has a neuroprotective effect, it has a very positive effect in many ways. So when you take CBD, you're actually boosting your own body. So it wakes up your yeah, and that's just one of the things. But that's, that's an important part of it, I think. And, and it's nice because it's it's really, it really uses what's in us already to move us in the direction we need to go to so we are healing ourselves. Yeah, essentially that way. Now it does other things as well. That's one of the aspects. So so that I, when we started this project, which was a year and a half ago, almost two years, started this show.  There's somebody selling everywhere. It we're in the midst of an explosion around CBD because it's not psychoactive like THC. It's not intoxicating. Although it does alter mood. It can, if you're depressed, it can relieve depression.  CBD is different. But because it's not psychoactive and because there's been a huge consumer interest, and also because it's forced the government to change its policy. Now we have because of the farm bill passed in December of 2018, it's legal to grow hemp again in the United States. And therefore, what's in the hemp plant, the CBD and other things that are also legal, somewhat, it gets a little tricky. Well, listen, we need to take a break and we'll be back in 60 seconds. And then let's talk about the farm bill and what that means. Okay, sounds good. We'll be right back. Aloha, and welcome to At the Crossroads. I'm your host, Keisha King. You can catch me every Wednesday, alive at five. I'll see you there. Hello, my name is Andrew Lanning. I'm the host of Security Matters Hawaii airing every Wednesday here on Think Tech Hawaii live from the studios. I'll bring you guests, I'll bring you information about the things in security that matter to keeping you safe, your co workers safe, your family safe, to keep our community safe. We want to teach you about those things in our industry that, you know, may be a little outside of your experience. So please join me because Security Matters, Aloha. And we're back. And we are spending a fabulous, fabulous time with Martin Lee, who is one of the 100 most influential people in cannabis. So what else to do but have one of the most influential people tell us about cannabis. And just before the break, we started talking about the farm bill. And what that means to growing hemp? Well, just stepping back for a moment, you know, hemp illogically has been illegal to grow in the United States, unlike the rest of the international community where you can grow hemp in Canada and Europe and China all over the place for, and hemp is an amazing plant from which you can make many, many different products. It's absurd, ridiculous counterproductive to that plan to be illegal. But it's really CBD and the rediscovery of CBD and the excitement around it, more than any other single factor that's responsible for the fact that hemp is now legal to grow in the United States, because there's so much enthusiasm about CBD that it really forced the federal government to change. So now we have the farm bill, which has made it legal to grow hemp, meaning cannabis with less than 0.3% THC. That's an artificial distinction, but that's what it is legally now. That doesn't have a scientific basis, but that's what it is. So, okay, we'll take it. Now you can grow hemp. But you know, while it's a tremendous step forward, it doesn't really solve the basic problem. The basic problem is called the Control Substances Act, which has made cannabis illegal. So I compare the farm bill to almost like a software patch for bad software, you know, when they create a software program, but it isn't, is a glitch, then they create a patch for it. So the farm bill is the patch to address the problems with the Control Substances Act, the problem being they made hemp illegal. Well, that's not the only problem. The problem is cannabis, the rest of it is illegal. And unless you legalize the full plant, you're going to have a lot of problems still with. I think it's great that the farm bill exists. I think it's great that we can grow hemp. But when it comes to actually enforcing this law, it's going to be very weird. What happens if you have 0.5% THC in your plant, because it was in the different position, the sun or the shade or something, you know, the plant responds to the environment. It's going to be really strange to see how the government can actually regulate and enforce this. I was going to say, who determines, you know, if if your plant has 0.5 more, how would it, what is the good luck on that one? Are they going to know the difference? No, I guess they'll need another software patch to correct that problem. But it's, let's say it's a huge step forward that shouldn't be you know, speaking of the feds, cannabis is a schedule what one still is. But opiates are not. Well, not only that, but THC is schedule three as a pharmaceutical called Marinal CBD is now schedule five, which is almost virtually like you don't even have to schedule it. Nothing else in the plant is illegal. So why is it why is the plant illegal? It's a complete contradiction. In fact, you can kind of make a joke. Well, let's let's take the legal CBD from our and all the excuse me, the THC from our all illegal CBD and all the different terpenes that are all legal, put them all together. It's almost like you can recreate the cannabis plant. And that would be all legal, except the plant is still illegal. Okay, now what is it that Coca Cola and all of them are doing with it? They are creating. You know, when I heard that Coca Cola was interested in in including CBD and some of its products, I didn't know whether to, you know, take a victory lap or to cry. And I think it's more the latter because I don't want to go off on a tangent here, but Coca Cola has not made a great contribution to the planet's health or human health. Probably talk about diabetes and, you know, so talking about putting a little bit of CBD in one of their products. Well, that might help sell their products, but frankly, I don't think I'll do much for anybody. And of course, for those of us old enough to know the word Coca Cola comes from Coke. That's right. That was their original drink was Coke. And I read a great article that said that they made this drink, and they gave it to the workers in the field at lunchtime so that they felt good enough to go back to work and, you know, yeah, I don't know if that's true, but it's a good story. Probably is. In fact, very early on, I noticed that people working in the field, if they were smoking cannabis, like they do in Jamaica, they actually were better workers, they had more energy. Yeah. And so this idea that cannabis makes people lazy or unmotivated. Again, that's one of the myths, one of the part of the disinformation promoted. Again, let's just off the track. In Hawaii, the dispensaries were had to be so far, I don't know how many feet, miles or whatever, from a school and a library. Okay. However, if you walk from any school, you can walk to Foodland Safeway, and they are selling alcohol and cigarettes. So what's, no child is going to go into a dispensary to buy anything. What, none of that. They wouldn't be allowed, of course, they wouldn't be allowed it. No, but no child is just going to walk through the door. It's part of the hypocrisy and the legacy of refurb madness and prohibition. And that's rooted in racism. We know that historically. And the continuation of cannabis prohibition to me is like the Confederate statue that still stands in certain states. It's there.  And that's what marijuana prohibition is. It's a relic of racism. It's not rational. If you had a policy that was geared toward promoting public health, one should have easy access to good safe regulated cannabis products used responsibly. So we need access and education. That's part of what you're showing us. That's part of what Project CBD does, focusing on education. But we don't have that. Instead we have this. It's kind of like a hangover from from the refurbanness era is refurbanness light. It's still with us. But things are changing and we are in the midst of a major pro-cannabis cultural shift in our culture as evidenced by now the legal status. But now the project. What do you call this now? Project CBD. Project CBD. Tell us exactly what is Project CBD and how we can participate. Well Project CBD first and foremost is an educational website. It's not commercial. It's a well-trafficked website now. We have several hundred thousand visitors each month and it focuses on providing unbiased information not geared towards selling a product about cannabis therapeutics. How to use cannabis therapeutically. CBD is a very very important part of that but it's not the whole story. And we've we're hearing from people that the most success they have for dealing with the variety of ailments is when CBD and THC are combined as part of a whole plant matrix. But again how do you use that? You know now it's not just as simple as smoking a joint anymore. You know that's the old way. That's the old way. When medical cannabis first started in California in 1996 at least legally that's what it was about. Smoking a joint, eating a brownie. Now we have these very high potency oils. We didn't have that 20 years ago. Now we have mixtures of CBD and THC. CBD wasn't part of that before. Well how much should you have of each? What's appropriate for each individual or each condition? These are things that we're all learning as we go along and we are learning some very important things that are helping people. So we focus on practical information that can help people integrate cannabis therapeutics in their life. But it's also an astonishing story scientifically that it's always new information we're learning every day about the science of therapeutic cannabis. So we try to talk about, report what the scientists are discovering, but to talk about it in a language that a non scientist can understand. That was our original mission to take what the scientists were saying, make it understandable. But now we're also reporting back to the scientists what people are learning on the ground in states like California and Washington and Colorado and now Hawaii too. It has a medical marijuana cannabis program. Yeah, because we do have the medical use of cannabis. This little booklet of course is free and it is available. I think you can go online to the drug policy forum and get it. Or you can come visit us, all of us, at the Cannabis Festival Expo this weekend. The promise is to be a really good event. Yes. So you can come and buy a book, get an autographed book and tell us while we're talking about this. What is your website so people can go to the project? Project CBD, CatboyDog projectcbd.org. There's a lot of information there that again is presented in a way we hope it's very accessible, very useful to people. And we also have the usual Facebook and Instagram and all the things that all the social media platforms that people are involved with these days. So they can come and meet you this weekend. That's Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is it? Yeah, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And Cheech and Chong will be there. You can't have a cannabis expo without Cheech and Chong. That will be a good laugh. And laughter is healing. And so I do want you to come and meet all of us. There'll be so many people there. And so again we'll see you this weekend. Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure and we'll see you Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Blaisdale and Loha. Thank you, Joyce. I love it.


Stories can change. Narratives can change. We have agency in this. You know democracy, government, these are these are concepts that refer to collective story making at scale. So we've come to take story really seriously as an organization. What if we wrote a collective narrative thinking a year into the future about what would we want to have achieved and how would we have wanted to get there? This is a woman called Audrey Tang. She is one of the co-founders of an organization called GovZero and GovZero is a network of civic hackers and at the beginning of 2014 this is what was happening in Taipei. So half a million people were in the streets as part of the Sunflower Movement surrounding their Parliament buildings until the Taiwanese government came to the table and started really negotiating with civil society about the way that they were trying to push a trade deal through and Lumio was one of the tools that they used. So we first encountered Audrey when she and another activist got in touch with us to see if we could support them to translate Lumio into Taiwanese Chinese. The Taiwanese government, the Taiwanese trade ministry and other areas of the Taiwanese government are now using Lumio to involve citizens in collaborative policy making.


All right, and we are now live. Alrighty. Welcome everybody. We're just gonna wait one or two minutes before we get started to let everybody join properly. And then we'll go ahead and get started with content when everybody is set up. It's so much fun to watch everybody flooding into the Tuesday webinar. This is our very popular webinar, Tuesday, beginning of the week. Everybody's hearing up to start with when I work. Welcome everybody. Once again, we're just gonna wait one or two minutes to let everybody get joined properly. And then we will go ahead and get started with content. While we wait, it's always really fun for us to get to know you all better before we get started. You can let us know where you're joining us from and what kind of work you are scheduling and managing and time tracking for. You can let us know in the chat tool. We sent out a couple of messages. So go ahead and use that chat tool if you want to communicate with us, let us know what kind of work you're scheduling for, where you're joining us from. It's always a really fun way to start off this session. Kara and I have been working with when I work customers for a long time now. So we have seen a ton of different users, different use cases and companies. We schedule for so many different types of companies. And again, we have seen so many setup types. So we'd love to hear what you're trying to accomplish with when I work, because we probably have seen it before and probably can come up with a couple of really great tips for you all. Looks like Janet is gonna be doing some scheduling for educational classes. Definitely seen that before. Hi Janet, thanks for joining us. And as we get geared up for the summer and the summer season, we are seeing a lot of more seasonal work coming up from the groundwork. And we're seeing, you know, ice cream stores, pools, all that sort of fun stuff. So if that is one of you, definitely let us know. It's always really nice to see the summer getting started and all the different types of companies that brings out. We always also have somebody chatting in from somewhere totally across the world. So we do schedule for companies all across the US, but also all across the world. You know, every session I have somebody chatting in like hi from the Bahamas, or you know, hi from Santa never got in. It's always just really fun to know that we do have the one I work with family just all across the world. We have a few more chats coming in. One from Micah at Rocky's Premier Auto Wash. Jennifer is scheduling for a bookstore. And Andrew in New Orleans. So thanks so much for joining us. It's good to see you guys. All right. I like to wait as long as I can without wasting time to make sure everybody's set up. So I do see that we're kind of leveling off. So just to make sure that we get as much content as we can today, we can go ahead and I'm just gonna welcome everybody one last time to the live Q&A. I know I say that so many times, but welcome everyone once again. We're so happy to have you all join and we're really excited to help you get started with When I Work. So during the next 30-ish minutes, we are gonna be answering your When I Work questions.  But the content is gonna be directed by the questions that you all ask. So the questions are gonna be flowing in and depending on volume, we're gonna get to as many as we can, if not all. But if your question doesn't get answered or you have a new question or something else comes up, you can always chat with us directly after or whatever you want and we will go over how you can get in contact with us, how you can chat with us and we'll go over that at the end and probably during the session as well. So listen for more information on that. If you're totally new to When I Work and checking out our different accounts and plans, we're gonna outline how you can go about upgrading your account or checking out our plans at the end if you like the tools that we're gonna show you today. And if you're just joining us to ask questions on your existing account, because you're already grooving on your existing account, you're welcome as well. I hope you have any questions. We will get to those as well. So with that, we can go ahead and get started. The way that this works just so you all know is that this is a Q and A. So if you want to ask a question, you can put your question or share your question into the Q and A section of the webinar. So not that chat that we've been using just to kind of chat back and forth, but the Q and A and that's where all the formal questions will go. So put your questions in that Q and A section at any time now or during the webinar and Cara is gonna go through those and grab as many as she can and I will be sharing my screen and giving you more of a visual demo of the answers to your questions. So what the heck I'm talking about when I'm actually sharing the answers to your questions. So as you all put your questions in that Q and A section, I'm gonna flip my share over to my actual When I Work account, give you a little bit of a tour of what you're seeing if you're totally new and then we can go ahead and get started with questions. So, all right, you should all be seeing my When I Work screen right now. I am just logged in as the admin on my account or essentially just the manager or person who started the account. The view that you're seeing right now is actually pretty similar to what your employees would see if they were logging in on their computer, but they won't be able to have access to things like making the schedules, adding shifts or adding any information or changing any settings. So just a quick review of the When I Work website. You'll have your top menu bar. This is where you can navigate all the different landing pages for our different tools. So our scheduler to create shifts, our attendance tool to find more information on time sheets and clocking in and out. And then of course, Work Chat, my favorite, our in-app messaging system. And then on this right-hand side here, this is where you're gonna find all the information to adding any settings or adding any information into your account, like your employees positions or adding any of that information in. So with that little tour, I know it's not everything, but it's a great overview. We can go ahead and get started with questions. Sure, all right. So the first question that we have is I have the same schedule week to week. Is there a way that I can copy it or save it as a template? That's a really good question. And we have a couple of different tips and tricks on how to save your schedule, copy it week to week and other tricks to make it really easy when you're scheduling shifts that maybe get worked a ton at your workplace. So the first thing really simply, can I copy my schedule week to week? And yes, you definitely can. So using my wrench icon, if I go into the next week of when I work, assuming that this past week is perfect and I just want to copy it over to my next week, I can hop into that next week, use my wrench icon and then click copy previous week. This is going to copy my entire previous week right on over into the new week. You can also do this employee by employee if you don't want to actually copy your entire schedule all the way over to the next week. You can just do that employee by employee by using the little carrot or down arrow right by each employee's name within your schedule. And you can just click copy Monica's previous week or copy whoever's previous week. And there's two other, you know, copy and paste and helpful tricks to make scheduling easier that I definitely want to point out because they are truly lifesavers. So the first one would honestly just be copying each individual shift within your schedule. So what you can do is you can click your command key down, click into the shift and this will copy your shifts and you can drag and drop your shifts into any new cell that you want. So you can see how quickly and easily I just copied a week of my shifts over into all my different days. So if you have a ton of shifts that you know get worked a lot, definitely think about just using the copy tool and copying them into every cell that you need. Along with this, I also recommend making any schedule and shift templates that you need to be able to quickly and easily add in shifts and add in pre-made schedules as you go. So a shift template is basically just a shift that you know gets worked a lot in your workplace that you wanna save and be able to log into any day. So to make those, you can hover over this little storefront icon, click into shift templates and then add in any template that you need and save it. Then back in the scheduler, you'll be able to quickly load those into any qualified employees. So right here, I'm just gonna schedule a shift for Ross and all of the shift templates that you've created that Ross is qualified for by his positions and tags are gonna show up so you can easily schedule those in for the day. Then I also mentioned the schedule template tool and it's pretty much just a shift template for your entire schedule that you've created. So if this was a schedule that's just perfect and I want to save it to be able to add in to any other week or add in to any other month, you could just create your schedule. Again, use this handy wrench icon and save your schedule as a template. Once you do that, you can go into any week, use the wrench icon again and then load in any template that you've made. You can make a template for just a specific position like this one or you can create your entire schedule and save that as a template. It's really up to you. You can layer them, add them together, mix and match. It's a really helpful tool if you're looking to save some time. Awesome, kind of related to that. Micah asks, instead of copying week to week, can I copy every other week, every third week? So maybe just talking about how we see other customers use schedule templates in that way and maybe a little bit about repeating shifts. Awesome question. I definitely should have gone over repeating shifts on our helpful tips and tricks to make scheduling easier. So I'll go over that first because it's a really awesome tool. So if you don't wanna just copy your schedule right into the next week, you can, of course, use the schedule templates and I'll show how to do that in a minute or you can use the repeating shift tool. So when you have your shift, you can click in it to edit and then I'm gonna show you the repeat options that we have. If you don't want to, again, use the copy and paste tool, you can have your shifts repeating. So what you can do is you can toggle on the repeat shift tool and then choose how often you want your shift to repeat. So potentially it's every two weeks or three weeks and then you would just choose an end date for that repeat. So maybe it ends in June and then you would save that and it would automatically repeat every two weeks in this case. So that's a really good option if you're maybe making rotating schedules or any sort of repeating shifts. And then another, of course, great tool to use if you are making repeating shifts or a rotation or rotating schedule would be to use the schedule template tool. So again, when you load in any template, you can see that an option would be to create a rotation. So rotation one, rotation two, rotation three and then adding those into the weeks as you go. Like I showed you just adding in any templates, maybe it's rotation one template and then you could do that for rotation two on the next week, rotation three on the next week or however it's set up for your workplace. Great. All right, so next we have Amber. Is asking how can I create shifts that employees can pick up and self-schedule? Awesome question. Self-scheduling is kind of a hot topic right now. It's sort of up and coming, having employees choose their shifts. And of course for many businesses, this isn't new. And we definitely have a way that you can have employees pick up the shifts that they can work and then you can be good to go and you know that you have the coverage you need for your workplace. So for this, we use the tool called open shifts. So in when I work, like you can see here, generally you will be scheduling shifts directly out to your employees. But again, you don't have to schedule shifts directly out to your employees and you can use our open or unassigned shift tool. So when you're using the open shifts you can build out any schedule that you need, any shifts that you need covered for your day or your week. Once you have built out the coverage and shifts that you need, you can publish those shifts out and your employees can grab those shifts, first come, first serve. And this would be based on their qualifications. So their positions and their tags, they'll have to be tagged to the correct qualifications to be able to pick up the shift. So for a bus or shift, for example, your employee who's only tagged to the cook position wouldn't be able to see or pick up any schedule for a bus or barista. If you also want to use the open shifts with shift bedding or shift request turned on, you definitely can as well. And this just means that your employees would be able to sign up for open shifts. And then a manager or yourself would be able to go in and accept the person that they actually want to take that shift. So what you would do here is you would just require pick up approval for that open shift. And again, this turns on our shift bedding or shift request tool. Your employees would see all the available shifts, sign up for one that they would want to work. And then the manager would actually go into the system and choose which employee to give the shift to. Great. Next question from Micah. Any tips for scheduling multiple sites? So maybe just the differences between multiple schedules and job sites and how those can be utilized? Definitely. We have two main ways that you can schedule different locations or different sites within when I work. And both are used for slightly different reasons. And you can also layer the two approaches together if you want. So the first way to schedule shifts at different locations would simply be using our multiple schedule tool. So the multiple schedule tool, like it sounds, just allows you to make multiple schedules within your workplace account. So down this left-hand side here, you'll be able to see the word schedule. And underneath, you can click the dropdown arrow to navigate to the different schedules that you've created within your account. Only employees that are tagged to those specific schedules will show up on the schedule when you toggle over to it. So in my example, all my employees are just tagged to both schedules. But if you wanted to create schedules with totally different employees on them, you can as well. If you do have employees that are scheduled, that are able to be scheduled at both locations or both schedules, you will see their other scheduled shifts on both of the schedules just to make sure that you aren't double scheduling them if they're able to work at both locations. So again, here is where you can toggle between your different locations or schedules. Multiple schedules are a really great option if you are scheduling two totally different locations, maybe two different retail stores, you know, two totally different coffee shops potentially, or even creating teams within your workplace or trying to designate different departments within your larger workplace. I've seen this work really well at a golf course where there was maybe the pool staff on one schedule, you know, then the golf staff on one schedule, that always works really well if you just wanna split up your teams or departments. Then the second way that you can create sites or different locations within when I work would be using our job site tool. So your job site tool is just used on the schedule and essentially a job site is just a tag that you can add into a shift so your employees can see where they are scheduled. So I'm just gonna go into this shift to show how you can add that. I'm just gonna edit this shift here and basically the anatomy of a shift in when I work just consists of a time in when you want your employee to arrive, when the shift ends, maybe an unpaid break in a position and then of course the job site tag. This is where you can add the different location onto the actual shift rather than creating multiple schedules. This is really great if you are working with a ton of those remote locations or offsite locations. I've seen this work really well, especially for maybe a construction company. You can imagine they have a ton of remote job sites that their employees are going to or maybe cleaning, janitorial service and there's a bunch of different clients that you're scheduling for all your different shifts. So in those cases, I would probably use the job site tool to allow your employees to know where exactly their shift is being scheduled. Another cool little quirk about using job sites if you are having your employees report to those different offsite locations is that when there is a job site tagged to their shift your employees will actually get a little map icon and it will actually map them and direct them to their job site if they have that activated on their phone. So it is a really cool way to know that your employees are actually just gonna be showing up at the correct job site or workplace. And the job site tag can also be used for designating any other information. If you don't have any remote job sites or anything like that you can also use the job site tag to indicate maybe different clients or designating equipment to your employees if you have trucks and you wanna designate which truck goes to which employee for which shift. You can use it the job site tag for that too. I always like to mention that as just another way to use the job site tool if you want to. And so those are the two ways that you would add different remote sites within when I work. And I also do wanna quick mention our need help tab and our help center because we actually have a help article totally designed to help you decide if job sites or multiple schedules is right for you. And you can search for that directly in our help center. So if you do have a question like this after this session definitely check out the help center, type in any questions or keywords that you're wondering about and it will come up with a ton of different articles to help you. And then as you get started as well we have a training center. So if you want some extra onboarding some totally helpful tools and videos to help you get started check out our training center because this is gonna have all the training and onboarding that you need for your management team and also your employees. So just a little plug for our awesome help center. I use it every single day. And if you're getting started this is really gonna help you out. Let's do one more here from Janet. If you can show us how to pull some reports maybe just going through the schedule export and the time sheet exports. Definitely. We have kind of a variety of different types of reports that you can actually pull from when I work just really depending on how you're using your account. So the first one kind of most basic is to use the schedule export. So again, I'm gonna show you of course the handy wrench icon. This is basically just apparently the only icon that you need in when I work today but this is going to direct you to our schedule export. And for the schedule export what's really cool is that you can really drill down on what kind of information that you want to export from your schedule. So you can choose which job sites or which tags you added to your shifts which employees, positions or schedules and of course your time range and date period. And this is really gonna help if you are trying to find any specific information found within your schedule. Then I also wanted to mention the time sheet export here. I'm gonna hover over the attendance tool and click into time sheets. We haven't talked about this tool yet today but this is our attendance or time and attendance tool. This is where your employees clock in and out for their shifts and we kind of gather all their worked hours and produce a payroll summary. So at the end of your payroll period you always will have the option to close your period and export your payroll summary as a report and then we also do have export options and custom export options for all of your time sheets. So when you click into your custom export this is pretty similar to your schedule export and it really allows you to drill down and find the exact information and reporting that you need from your workplace and from your time and attendance tool. If you are using our scheduling and our attendance tools together we also do have a larger reporting system where you can gather any reports that you need that are kind of automated and sent to you. This is where you can find what we offer and these are really great reports to kind of take a look at what's happening in your workplace, which employees are kind of doing what and kind of give you an idea and the ability to audit what's going on at your workplace. So if you do have any questions about what's reports we have definitely hover over the shop front, store front icon, click into reports and it will list all of the reports that we offer right now. The two that I always think are the most helpful would be the attendance notice reports. This allows you to pull the report of any alerts that we have for your time clock. So early clock-ins, late clock-ins, clock-ins from the wrong location, things like that and this is gonna be really helpful to pull this information to help train your employees and to get a better understanding of what's going on at your workplace. And so if you have any questions on those definitely let us know and we can walk you through which one you might wanna be pulling for what information you need. Looks like we just have one more question in the queue is automated reports cost more per month. So maybe just going over our plans and talking about our awesome small business plan. Yes, just for a background on those reports you would need to have the whole bundle because it's gonna be pulling information from both the scheduler and the time and attendance tool. So using those two tools together will allow those reports to be generated because we're using both the information from the scheduler and the attendance tool. So if you are interested in reporting for those reports specifically make sure that you are bundling your account and I will show you how you can actually go ahead and do that and just more information on your plans. And then we're gonna wrap up with a bunch of really helpful resources to kind of like your starter pack to how to get started with when I work. So stick around for the end and we will definitely go over all of that. So I'm quickly gonna again swap my screen over. All right, so if we had any other questions of the different plans that we offer we have just really whittled our plans down to make it super easy to choose what you need and we kind of just give all the functionality of our awesome tool into that plan and the add-on. So we have our small business plan for up to 100 users and this is gonna include all of our scheduling and our like communication functionality. This is gonna help you with that shift coverage, messaging and communication. And then if you are interested in using the time clock and attendance tool to capture all of your employees work times and to streamline your scheduling and your attendance then we have the attendance add-on. So it's really simple if you want scheduling and you have under 100 users, small business scheduling is for you. If you are also interested in adding that attendance tool having that clock-in functionality then you just toggle on the attendance add-on and this is gonna include all that clocking in, clocking out, integrations, reporting. All that great stuff is gonna come with it. So it's really simple to choose the plan that you need and you can actually do this all from right within your account. So if you log into your account, hover over the gear icon here and click into account and billing. This is where you can find all of the plan information that we offer. And this is where you can actually go ahead and mock up your price and upgrade your account. So when you go into upgrade your account you can choose which functionality and which billing schedule you prefer. Your users, you'll be able to see your price and then you can actually just purchase from right within your account.
