The Quick Shift Tool is the toolbar located above the scheduling grid. This tool allows you to create shifts in bulk quickly in both Schedule and Template views. For each position or post, use the Quick Shift tool to create the recurring shifts for the template.
This option can be toggled on or off in the Schedule Template using the + symbol.
Follow the steps below to do so.
- Choose a Position from the drop-down menu and select the post/position where the shifts are scheduled—for example, patrol zone, law enforcement, civilian employee, etc.
- In the following field, add the time range for the shifts. Note: The shift time field supports AM/PM and 24-hour time formats. Add a comma between the shift's times to add more than one shift simultaneously. Example: 04:00-13:00,12:30-21:30.
- Enter the duration of unpaid breaks for the shifts.
- If multiple shifts are to be created, enter the number of shifts to create for the times listed above. Note: This is effective when multiple security guards are scheduled simultaneously at the site and post. Select the days of the week these shifts are to be scheduled.
- Click the ADD button.
The shifts will now appear as unassigned shifts.
