Go to ConsoleAttendanceRosters, choose the site and open Shift templates.
- Select Add template.
- Give it a Name, such as "Day ward", and when it Starts and Ends. An end before the start runs overnight.
- Set the Grace, the Break and a Colour. Add a label, such as "Ward 3", if it helps.
- Select Save.
Good to Know
- A shift's break can follow The standard day's break, or be its own: No break, paid or unpaid.
- Changing a template's times changes the shifts made from it from then on. Shifts already on the roster keep theirs.
- A name, colour or label change shows on future shifts at once.
- You can archive a template once no pattern or weekly fixed shift uses it.
If Something Goes Wrong
- "Make a shift template first". The planner and patterns need at least one template. Add one here.
- You can't archive a template. A pattern still uses it. Change the pattern first.
