A routine is showing up twice

A duplicated routine almost always means it has been assigned in two overlapping ways to the same person.

The symptom

A staff member sees the same routine listed twice on the same day.

Why it happens

A routine shows once for each way a person is assigned to it. If the same routine is assigned to a location and also to a staff group that the person belongs to, they match it twice and see two copies.

How to fix it

  1. Open the routine under Routines.

  2. Look at the assignment and find the overlap, for example a location plus a group whose members already work at that location.

  3. Remove the assignment you do not need, leaving just one route to each person, and save.

Rule of thumb: assign a routine either by location or by the people who do it, not both, unless those groups never overlap.

When to contact support

If you have removed the overlap and the duplicate still appears, contact us at support@paddl-ai.co with the routine name and the affected staff member.

An alert is not being raised

When you expect Paddl to flag something and it does not, check whether the alert was already handled or whether the thing it watches is switched off.
