In this article you'll learn how to create recurring shifts for single or multiple employees using advanced options in the shift creation dialog. This feature allows you to define a repeat frequency and end date, enabling you to set up repeating shift configurations across multiple weeks in a single action. This is relevant for HR administrators and managers who need to efficiently schedule recurring shifts for their teams.
How does this work?
You need to navigate to Shiftplan > Schedule > Add new shift
In the add new shift dialog you will see a new toggle called advanced options
The advanced options let you to simple choose a frequency of repeat with the options for repeating a shift configuration every week, every alternate week up to 8 weeks
To give an example, if you choose to repeat every 2 weeks, a shift configuration will be applied to the current week and the current + 2nd week, current + 4th week etc.
Finally, to close the setting, you need to choose an end date of this repeat setup which can be up to anytime in the future, unless you are trying to create more than 10000 shifts at once.
Note:
ℹ️ You can not only create repeat options in advanced creation option, but also include multiple employees in a single creation action. This way you can create repeating shifts for multiple people in a single shift creation action. Note that the advanced options can be used only when you have selected at least one repeat day (Mon, Tues, etc.)
