Creating shifts allows shift leaders and fleet managers to define when work is performed and organize driver schedules.
This article explains how to create shifts from the Scheduling page and outlines the information required to configure them correctly.
How To Create Shifts
You can create new shifts directly from the Scheduling page in two ways:
By clicking the “Create Shift” button located at the top-right corner of the scheduling page.

By clicking on the top area of a specific day’s cell in the calendar to create a shift directly for that date.
Note:
Both methods use the same Create Shift panel with the same fields and options. The only difference is that when creating a shift from a day cell, the shift date is automatically prefilled, while all other settings must still be configured manually.
Required Information to Create a Shift (General Tab)
In the General tab of the Create Shift panel, the following information is required to create a shift:
Name
A descriptive name to help you identify the shift on the calendar.
Recurrence
Defines whether the shift is a one-time shift (Does not repeat) or repeats on a recurring schedule (Daily / Weekly).
→Does not repeat: The shift appears only on the selected date.
→Daily: The same shift repeats every day at the same time, using the same settings.
→Weekly: The shift repeats on the same day of the week in future weeks (for example, a Tuesday shift repeats every Tuesday).
Start date
The date on which the shift begins (day and time)Notes:
→ You can only select a current or future date as the shift start date. Past dates are not allowed.
→ When creating a shift by clicking a day cell, only the shift day (date) is automatically prefilled based on the selected cell.
Duration
Specifies how long the shift lasts (for example, number of hours).
Optional Information When Creating a Shift (General Tab)
When creating a shift, you can also configure the following optional settings:
Tags
Used to organize and filter shifts within your workspace.
Breaks
Allows you to define break periods for the shift, if needed. Breaks are optional and do not affect the creation of the shift.
Created Shifts on the Scheduling Page
Shifts appear directly on the Scheduling page. Each shift appears as a row within a day’s cell on the calendar and includes key information such as:
The shift name
The shift start and end time
If more than two shifts are created, a “+X more” indicator appears, allowing you to view the additional shifts for that day.
If a shift spans across two calendar days (for example, starting in the evening and ending the next morning), the shift entry is visually extended across both day cells. This ensures the full shift duration is visible across both days.
