Overview: When it comes to the personnel's weekly ROTAs, GIR allows the projection of weekly schedules in several ways. One of them will be per quadrant. This allows you to record favorite shifts, so that you can use them in the future.
Start from: The Workforce module.
Select Scheduling > Weekly ROTAs from the main menu.
Select the Work Center where you will create a copy of the shift.
Select New to create a new weekly shift.
Notes: You can configure a weekly shift that has already been created by selecting the Arrow icon. If the icon is blue, it means that there is already data saved in that week.
From the Projected Shift screen, select Quadrant to access the shift setup screen via Quadrant.
In the configuration screen by quadrant, select the Star icon.
When you select the Star, a pop-up window will appear where you will see all the possible options to execute with a favorite shift:
Status: Allows you to filter favorite shifts by active, inactive, or all shifts.
Show abbreviations in Favorites: Allows you to view the abbreviation configured for the favorite shift.
