What are the limitations of the freeware version of DRoster?
DRoster Freeware Edition is limited to 100 duties. You can schedule up to 100 duties and then delete the old duties to keep scheduling indefinitely.
DRoster Free Edition includes all the basic functionalities of DRoster Premium except for the email templates and the rules validator.
The Free Edition does not require credit card data, registration or any forms to fill. It is completely free. You can download DRoster Employee Scheduling Software Free at the Kappix website.
The freeware version allows for scheduling up to 300 duties (shifts). This means, for instance that if you have, say, 6 employees per shift and 2 daily shifts, this amounts to 12 duties (total shifts) per day. Dividing 300 duties by 12 daily duties gives you 25 days of scheduling, after which, you must delete the old duties to continue scheduling. You have to delete the old duties one by one. The drawback is that you lose the benefits of automated scheduling. In deleting old shifts, you also delete an employee’s scheduling history, which includes data such as how many days off an employee has taken, vacations, absences, overtime – data you need for payroll and future scheduling. The history can be important when an employee complains of being under/over – scheduled. You have scheduling history to back you up. When you register to purchase DRoster software, you get unlimited shifts and there is no need to delete old shifts. Everything is stored in DRoster’s database.
