Click vs drag: when to use each

Two ways to edit a shift. Pick whichever is faster for the change you are making.

Click to toggle

Tap any shift cell to cycle it through day, night, and off. This is the fastest way to change one shift at a time.

Drag to swap

Drag one cell onto another to trade the two shifts. Use this when moving a shift between two people or two days.

Both work in the Team and Personal views. On a touch screen, tap instead of drag.

Frequently asked questions

What is drag and drop scheduling?

It is a way to adjust a work schedule by dragging shift cells around instead of typing. Generate a base schedule, then drag any cell onto another to swap the two shifts.

How do I swap two shifts?

Generate a schedule first. Then drag one shift cell and drop it on another cell. The two shifts trade places.

Can I toggle a shift instead of dragging?

Yes. Clicking a cell cycles it through day, night, and off. This is faster when you only need to change one shift.

Which shift patterns work with drag and drop?

All of them: fixed weekly, 2-2-3, Pitman, and DuPont. You can edit any generated schedule.
