Select Shift tab, then click the + icon
Inside HRMS Setting, click the Shift tab. Then click the blue + button (top right of the shift table). You will see two options: (a) Add From Template — to copy from predefined shift templates — and (b) Add Shift — to create a new shift manually.
Add from template / Add shift
(a) Add From Template
Opens the Shift Template modal with a table of predefined shifts (e.g. Early Morning, Late Morning, Normal, Normal Routine). Each row shows Shift Name, In Time, Out Time, Late In, Early Out, Full-Day (Hr), Half-Day (Hr), Full-Day (C-off), Half-Day (C-off). Use the duplicate/action icon on a row to add that template as a new shift.
(b) Add Shift
Opens the Add Shift form to create a shift manually. Fill in:
- Shift Name (required)
- In Time, Out Time (required) — use the time picker
- Late In, Early Out (required)
- Full-Day Time, Half-Day Time (required)
- Full-Day Comp-Off, Half-Day Comp-Off (required)
- Mark as Default — checkbox to set as default shift
Click Save to add the shift.
