How Does This Functionality Help You?
- Mass Updates allow you to quickly change many things about shifts at one time.
- Creating breaks in all shifts can be defined by parameters you determine and will decrease the shift length hours paid.
Create Random Breaks in All Shifts
- Select the schedule name to open the schedule tabs.
- Select the Shifts tab in the top menu bar.
- From the Tools tab in the top menu bar, select Create Breaks.
- Choose parameters for the breaks on the Create Breaks pop-up window.
- Break size: 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min.
- Break start time: qtr hour, half hour, hour.
- Minimum buffer size: Choose a buffer size that is less than half of your minimum shift length if you want all shifts eligible for breaks.
- Minimum headcount percentage or minimum headcount per time slot: determines the number of breaks allowed per station/day time periods. Select Execute.
Result: The breaks are inserted into every shift that meets the parameters chosen.
Using Merge Shifts
- From the Tools tab in the top menu bar, select Merge Shifts.
- This combines back-to-back shifts that share the same date, station, and employee.
- The schedule filter is not applicable when merging shifts. All shifts in the schedule are examined. Empty shifts are ignored.

- First select the shifts you want to change, using one of the following methods:
- Select the check box the individual shifts you want to change.
