Before getting started, ensure that each employee&#8217;s work schedule has been updated in their profile within the People App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>After updating the employee\u2019s work schedule in the employee\u2019s profile under the&nbsp; people app, locate the shift app from the Bizedge dashboard. This application is used to create, manage, and publish employee shift schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Navigate to the Settings section within the Shift App. Here, you can configure your organization\u2019s preferred week structure and time format (for example, 12-hour or 24-hour format). Properly configuring these settings helps ensure that all shift schedules are organized according to your company\u2019s operational structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Once the settings have been configured, proceed to the Custom Shift section. In this area, you can create standard shift templates that will be used when scheduling employees. Examples of common shift patterns include Morning Shift, Afternoon Shift, and Night Shift. Creating these predefined shifts helps maintain consistency in scheduling and simplifies the process of assigning shifts to employees. After defining the shift patterns, click Proceed to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Click on Create Shift to begin scheduling shifts for employees.You can create shifts according to single date, date range or multiple dates. In this section, you will enter the required details. Once all the necessary details have been entered, save the changes to record the shift schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: <\/strong>Finally, click on &#8216;Publish This Week&#8217; Only to make the scheduled shifts visible to employees. Publishing the shifts ensures that employees can view their assigned schedules on their MyEdge App, allowing them to stay informed about their working days and shift times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Shift App allows administrators to create, manage, and publish employee shift schedules.
