Assigning or changing a supervisor on a shift

How to assign, change, vacate or cancel a supervisor for a supervised staff member on a shift.

When someone who needs supervision is rostered, their shift slot shows a Supervisors: line listing the supervisor (or Vacant in red if none is assigned yet).

Open the shift to manage it. If only one eligible supervisor is on that session, HosPortal assigns them automatically; otherwise the slot stays vacant for you to fill.

From the supervisor's menu you can:

  • Edit — choose a different supervisor from the eligible list (pick Vacant to clear it).

  • Vacate supervision — remove the assigned supervisor but keep the requirement (the slot goes back to vacant).

  • Cancel supervision — mark that supervision isn't needed for this instance.

  • Un-cancel supervision — restore a requirement you previously cancelled.

Once a supervisor is assigned, the eye icon next to the supervised person turns from red to grey.
