Entering a Shift

Once you have added your staff and shifts to Manager's Advantage, creating a schedule on the spreadsheet involves entering the shifts you wish to have filled on the left side of each day, and entering the name of staff who are filling those shifts on the right side of the day.

If you have "Show Times" enabled (click on the Show Times/Hide Times button in the upper left corner) you will also see the shift start & finish times in between the shift name and staff name.

To enter a shift into the schedule, click on a cell on the left side of the day. A drop down menu will appear with all of the shifts you created listed in them. Simply choose the shift you want to use and it will automatically be entered into the schedule, along with the start and finish times you created in the shift editor.

Note: You can change the start and finish time of a shift by enabling "Show Times" (click on Show Times/Hide Times in upper left corner) and editing the times in the two columns between the shift name and staff name. A shift with no start or finish time will not count towards hours worked when staff are assigned to the shift.
