Your Coast workspace

A Coast workspace is made up of groups, where team members can communicate and use workflows together. Keep reading to learning about the four key features of Coast.

 

💬 Organized groups and workflows

In Coast, Groups have two components: messaging and workflow. For every group, team members can send messages, share files, be assigned tasks and shifts, and much more—depending on the workflow groups you've chosen to add to your account.

Not sure which workflow works for you? Visit the Workflow Library and create groups for scheduling, task management, announcements, maintenance, or anything relevant to your business.

If you need a group for just conversations, create a group without adding a workflow. Make sure you add your team to the right groups, or else they won't be able to see those groups.

 

🃏 Cards

Cards the the building blocks of each workflow. Let's take the Shift Scheduler workflow for example. Each time you create a shift for a day, you are also creating a card in Coast. A Card captures all the information you need for each shift, such as Name, Assignee, Start Date, End Date, Repeat, and Notes. For different workflows, the information that a card captures will change. 
 

 

📽️ Workflow views and filters

For each workflow, you can view your cards in any format that makes sense for you. Tap the dropdown in each workflow to change the view from a List to a Calendar or a Board View. You'll also have the power to filter all your cards so that you'll only see the information you need. Depending on the workflow, you can filter by Assignee, Status, Priority, and Due Date.

 

🔎 Searchable history

For messages, files, and cards created in groups, you'll be able to search your team's history to find relevant information quickly. If you need to find a task, shift, message, or file, type it in the Search Bar.
