Overview
Event shifts are created and managed from the Events Page and are associated with a specific event.
Non-event shifts are created from the Weekly View and are not associated with an event.
The Events (Calendar) View only displays shifts that are associated with an event.
How to Create an Event Shift
If you want a worker's shift to appear on the Events Page:
Go to the Events Page.
Open the event where the worker should be scheduled.
Add or schedule the worker directly to the event.
The worker's shift will then be associated with that event and appear in the Events (Calendar) View.
How to Create a Non-Event Shift
To create a shift that is not associated with an event:
Go to the Weekly View.
Add the worker's shift directly from the Weekly View.
The shift will be created as a non-event shift.
The shift will not appear on the Events (Calendar) View because it is not associated with an event.
Alternative Method
If you need to view both event and non-event shifts at the same time, use the Weekly View.
The Weekly View can display shifts regardless of whether they are associated with an event.
Troubleshooting
A Worker Is Not Showing on the Events Page
Check how the shift was created.
If the shift was added from the Weekly View, it is a non-event shift and will not appear on the Events Page.
To have the shift appear on the Events Page, schedule the worker directly within the applicable event.
Removing the Events Filter Does Not Show the Shift
The Events filter does not control whether non-event shifts appear in the Events (Calendar) View.
Only shifts associated with an event are displayed in this view. Deselecting the Events filter will not cause non-event shifts to appear.
Use the Weekly View to see both event and non-event shifts.
Important Notes
Shifts created from the Weekly View are independent of events.
The Events (Calendar) View only displays shifts associated with an event.
Deselecting the Events filter does not make non-event shifts appear in the Events View.
If a shift needs to be connected to an event, create or schedule it directly from the Events Page.
Summary
Use the Events Page to schedule workers to specific events. Use the Weekly View to create and view non-event shifts or to see both event and non-event shifts together.
