The Services view organises the schedule by periods of the day, called services (for example morning, midday, evening). Instead of a continuous time grid, the shifts are grouped by service, which gives a clear reading of the coverage at each key moment of the day.

## When to use it

It is particularly suited to horeca and to all trades organised by rushes: you check at a glance that each service is correctly staffed.

## Enabling the Services view

The Services view must first be enabled and configured in the settings:

1. Go to Settings ⚙️ → **Schedules → Settings**.
2. Under the schedule display, enable the **Services** option.
3. Create your service periods by defining their time ranges (for example Midday from 11am to 3pm, Evening from 6pm to 11pm).

## How to access it

Once enabled, the **Services** tab appears in the toolbar of **Schedules → Schedule management**.

## What you see there

The day's shifts grouped under each service period you have defined, to visualise the coverage service by service.
