Choose a shift rotation or create a custom pattern

Set the start date of your shift cycle
Enter the start date for your chosen work pattern. Use the date of the first day in the cycle so that shifts and days off appear on the correct dates.
For example, if your work cycle starts on the first day of the month, select that date as the start of the pattern. If it starts on another date, use its actual start date.
