A shift is an entry on a day of your calendar, built from a template. It might be a timed working shift or an all-day entry like annual leave or a day off. Pick a template, choose the day, and ShiftSync creates a shift that takes the template’s title, times, colour, icon, visibility and notes.
For example, if you have an Early template that runs 06:00–14:00 in orange, adding it to Monday creates an Early shift on Monday. The template is the reusable pattern; the shift is that pattern placed on a real date.
What a shift takes from its template
Every shift starts from a template and inherits its:
- Title and short title
- Start time and end time (or All day)
- Colour and icon
- Visibility — who can see it
- Notes
What you can change per shift
Most details belong to the template, but a single shift can override some of them without changing the template or any other shift:
- Its date, or an end date so the shift spans several days
- Its times, if your account allows changing shift times
- Its notes
- Its visibility
