How to Create a Shift Pattern

Go to the Shifts page and focus on the Shift Patterns section.
Click New Shift Pattern.
Enter a Name for the pattern (e.g. “2-Week Day/Night Rotation”).
Toggle Is Default on if this should be automatically applied to new employees.
Choose the pattern length: Weeks/Days
Set the Number of Weeks/Days and a Start date.
For each day in the pattern, select the appropriate shift from the dropdown.
Click Save.
- Weeks — Define the pattern in full-week blocks (e.g. 1 week, 2 weeks).
- Days — Define the pattern by a specific number of days.

Set up a default shift pattern so new employees are automatically scheduled without manual setup.
Use weeks for standard rotations and days for irregular schedules.

Shift patterns let you build recurring schedules — for example, a two-week rotation that alternates day and night shifts. Patterns save time by automatically applying shifts to employees.
