Set up the shift schedule

The Shift schedule describes which shifts the plant runs (12- or 8-hour), with their labels and time windows. The diary uses this: an opened diary is tied to the right shift, and the timing of closing also follows the shift’s end.

Before you start

• Permission: the shift-schedule right — tenant_role:manage.
• Where to find it: the Shift schedule tab in the management area.

Steps

A shift’s row: label + time window + Active checkbox. 12-hour = 2 shifts (day/night), 8-hour = 3.

1. Open the Shift schedule tab.
2. Pick a best-practice preset to start — 12-hour (2 shifts) or 8-hour (3 shifts).
3. Adjust the labels and times in each shift’s row (e.g. Morning · 06:00–14:00).
4. Use the Active checkbox to enable the shifts you use.
5. Click Save on the row.

The schedule drives the diary’s timing

An opened diary is tied to the current shift per the schedule, and the Close window (the minutes before the shift ends) also comes from here — see Open and close the shift diary.

If it worked

The active shifts appear in the diary with the label and time window you set; the system knows from the time which shift’s diary is currently live.
