Importing or Bulk Updating Shifts

Available for Rapid, Core & Enterprise-4

You can use the import shift function to quickly create or update existing shifts. If you are updating multiple shifts with the same information, it is easier to do this using the bulk update process. 

The import function is located on the shift listing page.
