Has anyone found an elegant way to create shift schedules for organizations with rotating shifts? We are trying to configure a system for an organization with multiple branch locations. There may be a few basic shift patterns (e.g. two weeks on day shift, then 1 week on night shift). They want a simpler way to have employees’ scheduled available hours on the calendar boards to change according to their weekly shift.

Hi
Try using multiple Staff Schedule Rules per employee. On your example of two weeks on day shift, then 1 week on night shift, I would create three Schedule Rules per employee:
- Staff Schedule Rule 1, starts on Week one, has Start Time/End Time to cover the Day shift and happens every three weeks
- Staff Schedule Rule 2, starts on Week two, has Start Time/End Time to cover the Day shift and happens every three weeks
- Staff Schedule Rule 3, starts on Week three, has Start Time/End Time to cover the Night shift and happens every three weeks
