How to create day and night shifts

How to differentiate between day and night shifts in the application ?

Would you like to better organize your schedules by clearly distinguishing between day and night shifts? The application allows you to activate a dedicated option to make reading and managing your shifts easier.

Why differentiate between day and night shifts?

Visually identifying day and night shifts allows you to:

To better plan your team’s schedules
To comply with legal requirements related to night work
To avoid scheduling errors

How to enable day/night differentiation?

To enable this feature:

Go to Account Settings
Click on Schedules > Settings
Enable the “Differentiate day/night shifts” option.
Then set the time when the night shift starts (e.g., 10:00 PM)

🕒 All shifts starting from this time will automatically be considered night shifts.

How do shifts appear once the option is activated?

Once the option is activated:

Day shifts are marked with a sun icon ☀️
Night shifts are marked with a moon icon 🌙

These icons appear directly in the schedule management section, accessible through the Schedule menu. This allows for quick identification of the type of shift scheduled.

Good to know

This feature is purely visual: it does not change the duration or the rights associated with the shifts
The night shift start time can be changed at any time from the settings.
