Duplicate the previous week
Reproduce all the shifts of an already-planned week in one click to avoid recreating everything by hand.
When your team's schedule repeats from one week to the next with few changes, duplicating the previous week saves you a considerable amount of time. In one click, all the shifts are reproduced on the target week. All that is left is to adjust the exceptions.
How to duplicate a week
Go to Schedules → Schedule management.
Navigate to the target week, that is the week you want to fill in (not the one you want to copy).
Click the More button at the top right of the schedule, then select Duplicate the previous week.
Shyfter reproduces all the shifts of the previous week on the displayed week, keeping the same employees, sections, hours and information.
What is copied, what is not
The duplication carries over the shifts with their information: start and end times, associated sections and skills, breaks, tasks and shift comments.
Absences, unavailabilities and information specific to the source week (approved leave, and so on) are not copied.
After duplicating
The duplicated shifts appear as dotted lines (unpublished). Take the opportunity to adjust whatever needs adjusting before publishing the whole set.
You do not have to duplicate from the immediately preceding week. You can navigate to any future week and duplicate from the week just before it. The logic is always: "copy week N-1 onto the displayed week N".
Duplicate from a week template
If your schedule changes often from week to week but follows recurring patterns, consider week templates. You create a template once, then import it onto any week. This is more flexible than simply duplicating the previous week.
