Rosterable entity types
What "rosterable" means in Teiro, how different worker types appear as separate lanes on the scheduler board, and how this is configured.
What does "rosterable" mean
In Teiro, an entity type is "rosterable" when records of that type can be assigned to jobs and appear on the scheduler board. Carers are the most common example, but any worker type in your organisation can be made rosterable.
For example, if your organisation employs both support workers and allied health practitioners, you can make both entity types rosterable. Each appears as its own lane on the scheduler board.
Lanes on the scheduler board
The scheduler board organises workers into lanes based on their entity type. Each lane has a header showing the entity type name, and the workers of that type listed underneath.
This means your coordinators can see all worker types in a single board view without mixing support workers and allied health in the same list. Filtering by entity type lets you focus on one group at a time.
Other rosterable types
Rosterable is not limited to people. If your organisation manages vehicles, equipment bays, or other resources that need to be scheduled, those entity types can also be made rosterable and will appear as lanes on the board.
Configuring a rosterable entity type
Rosterable is set when configuring the entity type in your organisation's settings:
- 1.Go to Settings > Entity Types
- 2.Open the entity type you want to configure
- 3.Enable the Rosterable toggle
- 4.Save
Once enabled, records of that type will appear on the scheduler board and can be assigned to jobs.
The entity type also needs the correct field configuration — at minimum, a name field and an availability or working hours field — for the scheduler to display it correctly. Contact support if you need help setting this up for a new worker type.

Rosterable entity types can also have required certifications set on their jobs, and their records can hold qualifications that are checked during assignment. See Worker qualifications and compliance for details.
