Stop rebuilding the same week over and over
Most weeks look like the last one. Recurring shift templates let you set the pattern once and let it repeat, so you're only handling the exceptions.
Set the pattern once
Build a shift — say, the same worker covering Monday and Wednesday mornings — and mark it as recurring. It appears on the weekly calendar automatically going forward.
Handle exceptions without breaking the pattern
Need to change or cancel just one occurrence — a single Wednesday, not every Wednesday? Edit that occurrence on its own; the rest of the recurring pattern keeps running unchanged.
Less rebuilding, fewer mistakes
Every week rebuilt from scratch is a chance to forget a shift or assign the wrong worker. A recurring pattern removes that step for the parts of the schedule that don't change.
FAQ
How does a recurring shift template work?
Set up a shift pattern once — worker, role, day, and time — and it repeats automatically every week until you change or remove it.
Can I make a one-off change without breaking the pattern?
Yes — a single occurrence of a recurring shift can be edited or removed on its own, without affecting the rest of the recurring pattern.
Are recurring shift templates free?
Yes — they're part of the core scheduling features, free for a single site.
