Start Date
The Start Date is the date of the first working day in the pattern.
For example, for a 7-day shift pattern that runs from Monday to Sunday, the Start Date could be any Monday.
But for any pattern that isn't 7 days long, a date on which the pattern begins should be specified.
Shift Slots
Shift Slots can be added in the Shift Pattern, allowing multiple working/non-working days.
Each slot represents a consecutive day from the start date of the pattern.
In the illustrated example, the Shift Pattern is repeated every week with 5 working days and 2 non-working days.
- Shift Pattern can not to be deleted if it is in use. However, Shift Slots can be edited/deleted individually.
- Shift Slots can not be edited from working day to a non-working day and vice versa.
