Modifying a Required Field

To delete a shift from the Daily, click on the shift you would like to delete so it is highlighted blue.
▪Click on the Actions icon and select Delete from the drop-down list.
On the warning pop-up window, click Yes to continue or No to stop.
If you have selected a shift that is currently in a Mass Messaging broadcast the system will provide a warning. The shift's Mass Messaging reference is provided as part of the warning.
You must decide which of the two actions to take. Clicking on OK will close the pop-up window. You may not delete the shift until after the Mass Messaging is completed or you stop the broadcast.

There is an option on the Daily Schedule that allows you to split shifts, for example, you may take a shift from 6:00am – 7:00pm and create two smaller shifts, i.e. 6:00am – 12:00pm and 12:00pm – 7:00pm.
You will find the Split Shift icon on the top toolbar of the Daily Schedule.
▪Highlight the shift you want to split by clicking on the shift line.
▪Click on the Split Shift icon. The following menu will appear:
▪Enter the time you would like the split to occur (12:00 noon). ▪Click Apply.
The Daily Schedule screen will now appear with two unfilled shifts, 6-12 and 12-19 (7pm). The Day Code will remain the same (code and description).
Splitting an Assigned Shift
The following PSW shift from 6am to 7pm, assigned to Derrick Arnew, will be split following the same process described above.
Enter the time where the shift is to be split. In this case 12.00pm (noon) has been entered:
By default, the employee originally assigned to the shift before the split will be assigned to the first portion of the shift. Derrick's shift shows a start time of 6.00 and ends at 12.00. The second half of the split shift shows as an unfilled shift starting at 12.00 and ending at 18.00.
The Active Schedule will display the shift with the manual shift icon visible (hand) as well as the red icon indicating that the time was adjusted.

If you miss a required field, when you try to save your new line, the following message will appear indicating which field(s) you are missing (Department and Day Code below). You will not be able to save the line without this information.
