Work Rest: Set Up Shifts

Shifts are templates that allow you to fill a crew member's schedule in quickly with the correct distribution of working, resting, on watch and/or traveling time. Shifts are organized into groups called shift types which can be assigned to specific assets to ensure that those assets see only the shift types that apply to them.

3. Click MANAGE SHIFTS.
4. In the Enter Shift Type Name field, enter a name for the shift type, for example "Underway" or "Tied Up."
5. To add a shift, do the following:
   1. In the Enter a Shift Name field, enter a name for the shift.
   2. On the grid, select a time period then click the appropriate status button in the header.
