Schedule Mobile: Claim Shifts
Learn how to claim unassigned shifts in the mobohubb mobile app, either instantly when no approval is required or by submitting a request for administrator approval. This guide shows you how to find available shifts, claim them, and see what happens in both approval scenarios.
In this guide you'll learn
- Where to find the Unassigned Shifts feature in the Schedule
- How to claim a shift that requires no approval
- How to request a shift that needs administrator approval
- How claimed shifts appear once approved or if they’re rejected
Unassigned shifts let users voluntarily pick up extra work. Depending on your schedule settings, shifts may need no approval, or they might require admin permission before appearing on your schedule.
Claim Shifts (No Approval Required)
-
Open the Schedule in the footer menu.

- Admin Approval:
- If approved, the shift appears in your schedule.
