When do I use the shift plan?

The shift schedule is an alternative way to set your staff members' availability for online bookings (normally, this is done via your booking hours).

The shift schedule is especially useful if your staff members' working hours vary from day to day or week to week. You can also use it to record absences such as sick days and vacation.

Tip: If you'd like to occasionally deviate from your regular booking hours, you can use the shift schedule to set individual working hours for specific days. The shift schedule is particularly useful when your working hours change regularly. However, if your working hours are mostly fixed, maintaining shifts means extra effort, since availability has to be entered for each day you want covered.

Note: Keep in mind that you'll first need to enable the shift schedule under Settings > Booking Settings before you can use it. Here's a direct link to your calendar's booking settings.
