Creating Shifts

Add shifts, recurring series, and reusable shift templates.

Adding a shift

On the Schedule page, click Create New Shift (or click an empty slot on the calendar).
Pick the position and location (or "No specific position/location").
Set the date, start and end times. A title is suggested automatically (e.g., "Lifeguard at North Pool at 9:00 AM") — you can override it.
Assign a team member, or leave the shift unassigned to fill later or publish as an open shift.
Click Add Schedule.

New shifts are created as drafts — staff can't see them until you publish.

Recurring shifts

For shifts that repeat, toggle Recurring Schedule in the shift form:

Set the Frequency (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and Interval (e.g., every 2 weeks).
For weekly recurrence, select the days of the week (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri).
Optionally set a Repeat Until date; if blank, the series repeats for up to 1 year.

Recurring shifts show a repeat icon on the calendar, and a Recurring Series badge in the edit modal.

Deleting: Delete Shift removes only that occurrence; Delete Entire Series removes every shift in the pattern — this cannot be undone.

Shift templates

Templates are reusable shift patterns (position, times, location, notes) for quickly recreating common shifts:

In the shift form, choose Create Shift Template instead of adding a one-off shift.
Open the Templates drawer beside the calendar and drag a template onto the grid — drop sets the day and start time; adjust length as needed.

There's no "copy entire week" action — templates are the fast way to rebuild recurring weekly patterns.
