Managing Shifts

Shifts define operating schedules for your routes. A shift specifies when routes operate, including start time, end time, and which days of the week. Routes are assigned to shifts, making it easy to manage schedules like "Morning Route" or "Afternoon Route".

Viewing Shifts

The Shifts table displays:

• ID: Unique identifier
• Name: Shift name (e.g., "Morning", "Afternoon", "Night")
• Status: Enabled or Disabled
• Start Time: When the shift begins
• End Time: When the shift ends

Viewing Working Days

Click the expand arrow on any row to see which days of the week the shift operates. If no days are assigned, it shows "No days assigned".

Enabling and Disabling Shifts

You can temporarily disable a shift without deleting it:
