How do I generate a shift schedule?

Add shifts with their corresponding tasks, team members, stations, and shift codes. Custom color codes can be assigned to different shifts (e.g. blue for morning, orange for night) for clear visibility.

What types of shifts are supported?

You can create any shift configuration, including 8-hour, 12-hour, rotating, split, or on-call shifts. You can set the timeline boundaries anywhere from 0:00 to 23:00.

Can I print the shift schedule?

Yes. The exported PNG image is formatted with a clean high-resolution ratio (2x pixel ratio), making it perfect for printing and pinning on bulletin boards.
