Learn about creating Recurring Schedules for Shifts
Last updated
Maica scheduling allows you to create a recurring schedule for your new Shift. Recurring Shifts happen on a regular schedule and Maica will create these based on the populated information from completing the following fields:
Schedule Start
Data
The Start Date of the Recurring Shift.
Schedule End
Data
The End Date of the Recurring Shift.
Frequency
Picklist
This enables the selection of the following values: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annually
Repeat Every
Number
This captures the interval based on the Frequency, for example if Weekly is selected, then the number 2 means Every 2 weeks.
If you do not want to make a Recurring Shift Schedule, simply toggle the This is a Recurring Shift button to off and move on to the next stage.
When making Recurring Shifts, you have two more configurable options.
When this is toggled on, Maica will exclude any Shift that falls on a Public Holiday from your Recurring Schedule.
If you create a Recurring Schedule by End Date and Public Holidays fall within the specified dates, the Public Holidays will be skipped and the number of Shifts in your schedule will be reduced by the number of Public Holidays within the specified dates.
If you create a Recurring Schedule by Number of Shifts and Public Holidays fall within your schedule, the Public Holidays will be skipped, but the Number of Shifts will remain constant, and the End Date will be extended accordingly.
The scope of your schedule can also be determined by inputing the Number of Shifts desired within your recurring schedule (This is a configurable alternative to determining the scope by End Date). If the Number of Shifts is selected, Maica will automatically provide an End Date based on the Start Date, Frequency and Repeat Every fields. To toggle between End Date and Number of Shifts, click the hyperlinked text under the field box.
Maica will alert you if a Public Holiday falls within your schedule. For more information on how to configure Public Holidays within your organisation, click .
