Repeating Shift Templates

Repeating Shift Templates define how Shifts are scheduled and repeated week after week.

To create a new Repeating Shift Template, select Scheduling->Repeating Shift Templates and tap the + icon. Then,

  • Type in a name and a description
  • Tap Apply
  • Tap + Add Template Week
  • Select 'Days of Week' to schedules shifts for
  • Set the Shift Duration and Shift Start Time

Note: The Week value for the Repeating Shift Template represents the week sequence for the Template, and not the calendar year's week number. In the case of Example #1, Week1 represents the first week in the Template's sequence and not the first week of January.
