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 the following columns:

• ID: Unique identifier (hidden by default)
• Days: Expandable to show working days
• Name: Shift name (e.g., "Morning", "Afternoon", "Night")
• Status: Enabled or Disabled
• Start Time: When the shift begins (HH:MM format)
• End Time: When the shift ends (HH:MM format)
• Actions: Edit and Delete options

On mobile devices, columns like ID, Status, Start Time, and End Time are automatically hidden.

Viewing Working Days

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

Searching for Shifts

Use the search field to find shifts. The search works across shift name, status, start time, and end time. Results update as you type.
