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 (or arrive late), you can split that person off into a separate shift without rebuilding both. Hold ‘Alt’ (‘Option’ on macOS) while resizing.
Alt-resize in roster (resource) view#
Open a roster view — for example ‘Roster week timeline’.
Hold ‘Alt’ (‘Option’ on macOS) and drag the edge of the shift on a person’s row.
Release at the split point.
The dragged portion becomes a new shift with that one person assigned; the original keeps the rest.
Alt-resize in week or day view#
In a week or day view, hold ‘Alt’ (‘Option’ on macOS) and drag the edge of a multi-assignment shift.
Release the mouse — a person picker pops up listing everyone assigned.
Click the person you want to split off.
That person’s portion becomes a new shift; the rest of the shift keeps the remaining people.
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.
