1) Creating a shift (or a time slot)
Hover your mouse over a white rectangle and click on the "+" that appears
Fill in the desired information (label, hours, break time, meal type, personal note for the employee)
Repeat this shift as needed on one or more days of the week
Click on : create !
2) Creating a split shift
Go back to the box of the shift you have just created and click on the "+" which appears at the bottom.
Indicate the desired information for this second shift, you can also repeat this shift as needed on one or more days of the week
Click on : create !
3) Creating an absence or a weekly rest
Hover your mouse over a white rectangle and click on the "+" that appears
Click on "New absence"
Fill in the desired information (type of time off, date or time slot, personal note for the employee or in order to give more information)
Click on : create
💡 A time off can be added over half a day even if there is already a time slot scheduled on that day.
💡 You can personnalise the duration of a time off expressed in days (for instance paid leave, sick leave) if it doesn't suit you.
4) Moving or copying a shift (or time slot)
Select the desired shift and keep holding it
Drag the shift to the desired location : to move it, slide on the left or to duplicate it, slide on the right.
