Overview
The Shift Templates section of the Scheduling Module allows you to create templates to easily recreate shifts in the future. Admin users can create multiple shift templates for specific accounts as well as times. In this section, we will explain what Shift Templates are, how to create them, and lastly how to use them.
What are Shift Templates
Shift templates are reusable templates that the scheduler can use to recreate schedules. You are allotted unlimited amounts of shift templates which each can be assigned to specific accounts and time frames. Each of these shift templates can be assigned to any employee within the new Scheduling module.
