When designing On-Call, we aimed to make it easy to manage your schedules, get cover, and check when you’re on-call. We’re excited to bring that experience to the mobile app.
After updating to 1.6.4, you’ll see a new Schedules tab in the app with all your on-call shifts. There’s a calendar at the top to quickly swipe between months, and a drawer below that you can drag up to fill the screen, showing a daily breakdown of who’s on-call.
By default, we’ll show your schedules, but you can tap the schedule icon at the top right to enable any other schedules of interest. This is useful if you often work with another team on-call and want to see who’s on-call there, or if you’d prefer to hide a shadow rota that rarely has anyone on it.
In addition to viewing schedules, we’ve made it easy to send on-call cover requests and create overrides.
Cover requests let you ask your team for coverage when you know you won’t be available. By creating a request, we’ll ask each person on your schedule if they’re free to cover. When someone accepts, we’ll automatically add the override.
If you press and drag on one of your shifts, you can quickly highlight the time you'd like covered. If you drag on someone else's shift, we'll instead default to creating an override for it. You can also tap on a shift to create an override for its duration. In both cases, you can still open the detailed time pickers to choose the exact times you want to set.
Catalog types can now have Categories which you can set when editing a catalog type. These enable you to group your catalog types in a more useful way, and navigate to what you're looking for.
We've also done a bit of a redesign of the homepage to include some smaller cards so you can navigate it more easily.
When you set up SCIM, we'll now pull your SCIM groups into our Catalog. You can choose to push any number of groups from your SCIM provider into incident.io, and then see those groups in the Catalog.
You can pair this with Derived catalog attributes to use this as your 'source of truth' for teams, meaning that when someone is added to a team in Okta it automatically flows through to incident.io.
We’ve given our Integration Settings page a fresh coat of paint, and made it easier for you to navigate from integrations to other parts of the app like the Catalog and alerts.
