For example: You might have a Job in nursing where a worker has two weeks on, and two weeks off, with different shift start times on weekends. You can set the Shift Pattern for this Job once and get to rapidly making Placements.
This pattern will repeat for the length of the job, based on your start and end dates.
👉 Once the job is saved, it will be added to the Shift Scheduler.
