Shift Categories

Shift Categories are used in various Rules and the Allocation Wizard settings. They are attached to a shift and usually describe the time of day a shift takes place. Examples are Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night.

They can be used to set Shift Spacing rules. For example, rules can state that there must be X Hours Between a Night and an Evening Shift.

These can be configured under Rota > Rota Settings.
