Hi all,
I can't figure how I can schedule my shifts
- we have a schedule where one person in the team works morning shift for two weeks
- after two weeks the next person will be on morning
- rotation is amongst 3 persons and pretty consistent, except in days when we may need to swap around shifts due to leaves or other matters.
What is the best way to achieve this?
- I tried a few combo of weekdays and workweek but nothing seem to work like the excel spreadsheet that we have at the moment..lolz

Hi Kelvin!
From the sounds of it, what you want to make sure is that:
1) all members are in rotation
2) The shift is measured in days/weeks (is this weekdays only or 7 days a week?)
3) The rotation is set to change after 14 days or 2 weeks depending on how the shift was configured. For example, if you configure the shift to be from 9 AM to 5 PM spanning one day and you choose Mon-Fri as the recurrence then your rotation should be ~ every 10 shifts (shift-based rotation) or you can try every 2 weeks with a schedule-based option.
Any swapping should be handled by absences set in the user profiles. Someone taking over would be one absence covered by person x, if a swap is going on then each person has to configure an absence and include the person taking their shift on that period.
Let us know if that gets you closer to your goal!
Hi Kelvin,
Can you give me a little more information? You said that you have a schedule where one person in the team works morning shift for two weeks.
Who works the rest of that day or is it not covered? Typically one would have a Morning and also a Night shift to cover the day OR even Morning, Afternoon, Night. so how is your schedule?
If you can provide a real schedule we can probably show you how to create this but right now I don't have enough information to know how to build it.
