If your employees' shifts repeat in a certain pattern, you can create templates and select them when creating shifts. **Example**: Your employees take weekly turns working the morning and late shifts. Create one template called “Morning Shift” and one called “Late Shift”. ### **Creating templates** 1. Open the main menu and click on **Shift Plan**. 2. Click on **New Template** at the top. A new window opens. 3. Enter the name of the template. For each day of the week, click on **Add availability** to select the desired working hours. ![](https://help.shore.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/shorehelpcenter.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments360006391818Vorlage_erstellen_EN-Apr-27-2021-12-49-35-04-PM.png)   **Using templates** There are two ways to create shifts based on templates: - **Option 1**: Create a new weekly schedule by clicking on an employee in the overview. Then select the desired template in the edit window. - **Option 2**: Click on **Load Template** in the overview and select the desired employees. All working hours are automatically inserted from the template and can be modified if necessary. - [Booking System](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Online Payment](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#online-payment) - [Your Start with Shore](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#your-start-with-shore) - [Your Account & Access](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#your-account-access) - [Calendar & Appointments](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#calendar-appointments) - [Booking Page](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#booking-page) - [Booking Settings](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#booking-settings) - [Booking via External Platforms](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#booking-via-external-platforms) - [System Settings](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#system-settings) - [Services & Classes](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#services-classes) - [Members & Resources](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#members-resources) - [Customer Management](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#customer-management) - [Customer Communication](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#customer-communication) - [Reports & Analytics](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#reports-analytics) - [Marketing Features](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#marketing-features) - [FAQ & Troubleshooting](https://help.shore.com/en/booking-system?hsLang=en#faq-troubleshooting) - [Shore Pay Onlinepayment](https://help.shore.com/en/shore-pay-onlinepayment?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Setup & Activation](https://help.shore.com/en/shore-pay-onlinepayment?hsLang=en#setup-activation) - [Payment Options & Features](https://help.shore.com/en/shore-pay-onlinepayment?hsLang=en#payment-options-features) - [POS Cash register system](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First steps](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#first-steps) - [Account & Access](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#account-access) - [Products & Inventory](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#products-inventory) - [Customers & Users](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#customers-users) - [Sales & Checkout](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#sales-checkout) - [Reports & Accounting](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#reports-accounting) - [Payments & Shore Pay](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#payments-shore-pay) - [Shore Hardware](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#shore-hardware) - [Customer Display](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#customer-display) - [Interfaces & API](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#interfaces-api) - [TSE & KassensichV](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#tse-kassensichv) - [RKSV & fiskaltrust (Austria)](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#rksv-fiskaltrust-austria) - [FAQ & Troubleshooting](https://help.shore.com/en/pos-cash-register-system?hsLang=en#faq-troubleshooting) - [Shore Pay](https://help.shore.com/en/shore-pay?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started](https://help.shore.com/en/shore-pay?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [FAQ & Troubleshooting](https://help.shore.com/en/shore-pay?hsLang=en#faq-troubleshooting) - [Add-ons](https://help.shore.com/en/add-ons?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Online-Listings](https://help.shore.com/en/add-ons?hsLang=en#online-listings) - [Individual Web App](https://help.shore.com/en/add-ons?hsLang=en#individual-web-app) - [Contract & Legal](https://help.shore.com/en/contract-legal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Contract & Invoices](https://help.shore.com/en/contract-legal?hsLang=en#contract-invoices) - [Contact](https://help.shore.com/en/contact?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Contact customer support](https://help.shore.com/en/contact?hsLang=en#contact-customer-support) - [Refer-a-friend](https://help.shore.com/en/refer-a-friend?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Calendar: Refer-a-friend](https://help.shore.com/en/refer-a-friend?hsLang=en#calendar-refer-a-friend) - [POS: Refer-a-friend](https://help.shore.com/en/refer-a-friend?hsLang=en#pos-refer-a-friend) [![logo\_shore\_bildmarke\_80](https://help.shore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/03_Logos/01_Shore/logo_shore_bildmarke_80.png?width=100&height=100&name=logo_shore_bildmarke_80.png "logo_shore_bildmarke_80")](http://www.shore.com?hsLang=en) [Product Status Page](https://shore.instatus.com/) [Submit Request](https://help.shore.com/en/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, Shore GmbH
