Shift event settings

When creating or editing a shift event, you can view or update attributes that define the shift event.

To create a standard shift event (recommended), only modify the Shift event and Locked fields on the Shift Event screen. The Shift event field selects the work rule for the shift event. The remaining attributes for the work rule are defined in the Work Administration module. If you change these attributes, you will create a non-standard shift event. It will be locked on the calendar and can only be unlocked if you change back the attributes to match the original work rule.
