Create daily shifts that can be assigned to each day of the week in order to create a weekly work schedule.

A shift can be fixed (clocking in and clocking out occur at specific times) or flexible (people to whom it is assigned are not required to adhere to a precise time range, but must work a specific number of hours per day).

Users who are assigned a flexible shift must always record a timestamp at the beginning and end of any breaks they take, even if their shift only requires that they record a timestamp at the beginning and end of each workday.

📌 The Abbreviation is used by Fluida to show you the shifts within other features, such as Visual Planning. We recommend that you set one every time you create a shift, to make sure you already have it if you need it!

📌 The shift code was introduced in preparation for the expansion of the attendance export feature: it is currently optional.
