Alerts and Fatigue

Alerts draw attention to schedule conflicts and workload patterns that deserve review.

Active alerts

Open Alerts to see current critical and warning items. Select an alert to jump to the relevant schedule context.

Conflict and short-rest alerts remain active through the day they relate to, then leave the active list automatically. Past warnings do not need to be repeatedly cleared.

Past alerts

Expand Past alerts to review conflict and short-rest warnings from the previous 90 days. Pivot Shift recalculates this history from the events that are still saved in your schedule; it does not keep a separate permanent alert record.

The reconstructed history may change if you later edit or delete an event, change your minimum-rest setting, exclude an event from fatigue calculations, or remove historical data from a connected calendar.

Acknowledging alerts

Acknowledging an alert moves it out of the active list after you have reviewed it. It does not change any calendar event. The acknowledgement remains in place when a connected calendar refreshes. Expand acknowledged alerts and select Restore if you want one returned to the active list.

Fatigue calculations

Timed events from work sources can contribute to workload and fatigue calculations. All-day events are normally excluded. You can also exclude an individual event when it should remain visible but should not count as work.

Important limitation

Pivot Shift’s alerts are planning aids. They are not medical advice, a fitness-for-work decision, or a replacement for your employer’s fatigue, rostering, or escalation policies.

If an alert looks wrong, check the event’s source category, date, time, overnight handling, and Include in fatigue calculations setting.
