To Set Up a Rotation:

1. Select Setup Rotations in the Tools drop-down menu.

   Note: The start date is the first day the pattern takes effect and overrides any other availability that has been entered for the employee.

4. Select Add under the Pattern section of the form.

2. Select Add and in the Order field box put in the order # that you are replacing. 
3. To delete the entire rotation use the Delete link at the top beside the Save button. 

1. Highlight the employees you want to assign in the Available box.
