How to split a shift#
For: Manager You’ll need: A shift with two or more people assigned.
If a shift has multiple people on it and one of them needs to leave early, you can split that person off into a separate shift without rebuilding both. Start resizing the shift, then hold ‘Alt’ (‘Option’ on macOS) until you release.
Alt-resize in a people (person-lane) view#
Open a people view — for example ‘People week timeline’.
Start dragging the end edge of the shift on a person’s row, then hold ‘Alt’ (‘Option’ on macOS).
Release at the new end time.
That person moves to a new shift ending at the new time; the original keeps its hours and the other people.
Alt-resize in the week or day timeline#
In ‘Week timeline’ or ‘Day timeline’, start dragging the end edge of a multi-assignment shift, then hold ‘Alt’ (‘Option’ on macOS).
Release the mouse — a person picker pops up listing everyone assigned.
Click the person you want to split off.
That person moves to a new shift ending at the new time; the original keeps its hours and the remaining people. Click outside the picker instead and the shift is simply resized.
Visual feedback#
While ‘Alt’ / ‘Option’ is held during a resize, the shift block shows a split-preview style so you can see what’s about to happen before you release.
Verify it worked#
The original shift now has one fewer person assigned, and a new shift appears with just the split-off person. The new shift starts as a draft. If the original shift is published, the person is notified that they were taken off it.
A person with recorded time, approved hours or a marketplace reference cannot be split off. Dropping the person on the same shift leaves the assignment intact.
