Troubleshooting

How can I quickly add an additional shift to the recurring job?

After creating the first shift to the job, click on the existing job to pull up the job details. On the top right of the job details page is a button in gray titled 'Duplicate'. The Duplicate button allows you to duplicate an entire job and all of its details and then you can make the minor changes such as a time change. Add the second shift timing and save the job. Continue utilizing the Duplicate button to create as many shifts as necessary.
