Enabled

Determines whether the shift pattern is active or not.

Pattern Type

Regular For standard shift schedules. The shift pattern is recurring within the pattern's effective time period. A regular shift pattern also includes assigned shifts.

Overtime For ad hoc overtime schedules. Overtime shifts are in addition to regular work shift schedules. They will override regular shift schedules if their time periods overlap. The shift pattern is recurring within the pattern's effective time period. An overtime shift pattern also includes assigned shifts.

Holiday To block out a single period of time from shifts in regular and overtime shift patterns. A holiday shift pattern is not recurring and doesn't have assigned shifts. No shift activity will be recorded during a holiday period for entities assigned to the shift pattern. In shift schedules they appear as "No Shift."

Start and End Time

For regular shift patterns, the end time can be blank. A regular shift pattern with no end time defined is applicable forever (i.e., it never ends) and repeats week after week.
