Shift records are used to create a schedule of Available Hours that are applied to Maintenance Users. These available hours appear on the Scheduler and the Employee Productivity Report.

Creating New Shifts

To create a Shift use the following steps:

1. Select People.
2. Select Shifts. 
3. Select New.
4. Enter Shift ID.
5. Select a Start Date.
6. Select Add and Enter in a Start Time and number of Hours. Repeat this step as many times as necessary.
7. Enter a description to add additional details.
8. Select Save.

 

When creating a Shift, you must enter both the days that are being worked and the off days with zero hours as well. Enter days in the shift until the pattern returns to the next workday.

 

For example a 5 on 3 off shift would be entered as the following:

1. Monday - 10
2. Tuesday - 10
3. Wednesday - 10
4. Thursday - 10
5. Friday - 10
6. Saturday - 0
7. Sunday - 0
8. Monday - 0

After day 8 you have returned to the next workday. At this point, your Shift is complete and can be saved.
