📢Important Note

    1. Example 1

      If a Shift Pattern named "Morning" already exists, you cannot create another Shift Pattern with the same name.

      • Start Time: 08:00

      • End Time: 17:00

      • Break Time: 12:00 - 13:00

        You cannot create another Shift Pattern with the same start time, end time, and break time combination.

  2. Shift Pattern name cannot begin with the words "DAY OFF".


Add the Shift Pattern to the Shift Schedule

Once a Shift Pattern has been created, the admin can add it to the Shift Schedule in two ways:

  1. Click and hold the desired Shift Pattern, then drag and drop it onto the date you want to change the Shift time on.
