Shifts appear on the screen as separate blocks. Each block corresponds to one shift for one employee only. For example, if five employees are working at the same time (e.g., 09:00 – 17:00), five separate shifts will be created, one for each person.
This allows for precise tracking and management by employee and by time period.
The appearance of shift blocks varies based on whether they are in the published area or the draft area.
