In our system, a “shift” is the time one employee is scheduled for a day. So, for example, if between 8am-5pm you need 4 cashiers, this would be 4 different shifts in our system.\u00a0 You can add shifts from any Weekly or Daily schedule view.<\/strong><\/p>\n Normally it is best to use the\u00a0By Employee schedule view<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to add shifts because it allows you to quickly add shifts without the page reloading each time. To add a shift on that view, you can click the cell that corresponds to the employee\/day OR you can use the\u00a0Add Shifts<\/strong>\u00a0button on any schedule view (see instructions below).<\/p>\n The only information required for adding a new shift is the position,\u00a0start and end time<\/a>, and day(s) to add the shift.<\/p>\n Below is an overview of the many options that can also be chosen when adding a shift. Keep in mind that normally you will be using\u00a0Import<\/a>\u00a0to bring in your set of shifts each week – after adding your\u00a0initial week’s shifts<\/a>, you should only need to add shifts if you need more than you had the previous week or in your\u00a0Saved Template<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2192Click here for Quick Adding Shifts using the recommended\u00a0By Employee View<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n When you add a shift our system has checks for any potential conflicts<\/a> and will warn you if any are found.<\/p>\n From any weekly Schedule View:\u00a0<\/p>\n Optional Category<\/strong>\u00a0– if you have\u00a0created categories<\/a>, you can choose a category to pre-populate the fields with your “category default” information<\/p>\n
