You need to create a new shift if the existing shifts do not have the
appropriate start and end times.
To create a new shift:
-
Select
.
-
Click
Create New Entry.

Specify this information:
- Shift
- Specify a name to identify the shift. Use descriptive names
when creating shift names. Descriptive shift names can provide meaningful
at-a-glance information to timesheet users. For example, the name "0800-1700"
will be more useful to users than "Day Shift", unless users know that "Day
Shift" translates to 0800-1700 in your organization.
- Description
- Specify a description of the shift.
- Start Time
- Specify the time the shift begins.
- End Time
- Specify the time the shift ends.
- Shift Group

shift group
from the lookup. This field is currently not in use within the application.

Glance Report.
- Color

Click
Save.
The shift is ready to assign to a shift pattern, although you can
schedule breaks in the shift, if necessary.
