    • Repeat – A shift can be set up to be a single instance or set to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.
    • How do you want to use locations and cost codes?
      • One location and cost code for the entire shift – This option is best for employees who do the same type of work during their shift (i.e. Painters are scheduled for an 8-hour day at a single location). You can also add tasks that will list what your employees are expected to complete while working.
      • Multiple locations and/or cost codes for the shift using tasks – This option is best for employees who work at multiple locations and/or do different things throughout their shift (i.e. a lawncare worker who travels to several locations throughout the day but is primarily mowing lawns or a general contractor who may be doing several different types of work at one or multiple locations). You will be required to create tasks with a task name, location, and cost code. 
      • If the ‘One location and cost code for the entire shift’ is selected, then a Location and Cost Code for the shift will need to be selected. If ‘Multiple locations and/or cost codes for the shift using tasks’ is selected, then the Location and Cost Code fields will be hidden and the location/cost code will be set on the Tasks tab.
    • Shift color – Select a color to help identify the shift.
  3. Tasks is an optional tab to clarify any work that should be done for the given shift if 'One location and cost code for the entire shift' is enabled by entering individual task names. If the 'Multiple locations and/or cost codes for the shift using tasks’ option is enabled on the 'Shift Details' tab, then at least one task must be created for the shift that allows you to specify a task name, location, and cost code.

    • Task Name (Required) – The title for the task with a 75-character limit. If the employee's profile is set to Spanish or French, an extra field will be available with an automatic translation that you can manually update. 
    • Task Location & Cost Code – This field will be available if the 'Multiple locations and/or cost codes for the shift using tasks’ option is enabled on the 'Shift Details' tab. Each task will require a location and cost code.
    • Click Add Task to add a new task. Click Delete Task next to a task to delete it.
  4. The optional 'Notes' tab can provide additional information for the given shift such as notes
