The Day view displays the schedule of a single day. It is useful when a day is busy or when you want to check precisely who is working, at what times, without the dispersion of a view over the whole week.

## When to use it

Prefer it to prepare or check a particular day: a busy day, an event, or simply the check the day before for the next day. It highlights the detail of the chosen day's schedule.

## How to access it

In **Schedules → Schedule management**, click the **Day** tab in the toolbar. Navigate from one day to another with the arrows around the date.

## What you see there

- All the employees scheduled that day, with the detail of their hours.
- The same information as in the week (breaks, sections, skills), concentrated on the day.

## What you can do

You find the same actions as in the Week view (create, edit, publish a shift), applied to the displayed day.

**Drag-and-drop** is at the heart of this view: grab a shift and drop it onto another employee or another section to reassign it in one gesture. Its **tasks move with it**, without re-entry. Clicking a shift opens its panel to adjust the detail (hours, breaks, tasks, comment).

> A **locked** shift can only be moved by an administrator. To work on a timeline with a "now" time bar and resize shifts by dragging their edges, use the **OPS** view.
