Add a Shift to a Work Schedule

After you've created a work schedule, you can add the shifts and non-working times that will be included in the overall period of time.

1. Click Configuration.
2. In the General section, click Work Schedules.
   The Work Schedules page appears.
3. Click Items to the right of the work schedule for which you want to add a shift.
   The Add Work Schedule Item page appears.
4. Click Shift.
5. Click the Shift drop-down list and select a shift.
6. Select a Start Date and End Date.
   The start and end dates define the period for which this shift is associated with the work schedule. Leaving the End Date field empty implies that the shift is part of the work schedule indefinitely.
7. Add any comments for clarification or detail.
8. Select one of these options in the Recurrence drop-down list:

   • Daily – Allows for inclusion of the shift such as every other day or every third day. This option requires a value in the field labeled every _____ day(s).

   • Everyday – The shift applies to everyday without exception.

   • Weekly – Allows for shifts that are used on a regular weekly pattern. Select the days that apply to this shift using the check boxes for the individual days. Indicate the frequency of this pattern weekly by adding a value to the every ____ weeks(s) field.

   • Yearly – Select a date range for the shift that will recur every year.

9. Click Add.
   The shift is added to the work schedule.
10. Repeat the steps for each shift that you want to apply to this work schedule.
    Be aware that if you add two shifts that have the same priority to a weekday, only the shift that was created most recently is assigned.
