Session Code When building your shift pattern in Shift Pattern Manager, RotaMaster will assign each shift a code in the code column. Then, once you have created your rota in Manage Calendar, all shifts using that same shift in the template (Shift Pattern Manager) will have the same code.


To set a filter press the arrow to the right of your desired field and select an option from the drop down menu.

You can set several filters at the same time, but you will only be able to select one option from each drop down menu in the Basic Filters tab.

To remove a filter simply press the X next to the dropdown arrow and the filter will be removed.
