Configuring shifts

A shift represents work hours on a given day for an employee. You can assign shifts to specific employees for any day of the week. You can create several shifts for one or more schedules. There are two types of shifts: fixed shifts and variable shifts. Fixed shifts have a fixed start time and duration. Variable shifts are based on the following shift variables:

Typical hours—the number of work hours for the shift

Minimum hours—the minimum number of hours for the shift

Maximum hours—the maximum number of hours for the shift

Minimum start—the time of day after which the shift must start

Maximum start—the time of day by which the shift must start

Color—the color in which the shift appears in the time bar pane.

You configure the following shift options using the Schedule tool:

• Add fixed shifts
• Add variable shifts
• Rename shifts
• Delete shifts
