Recurring Shifts

Creating Recurring Shift

To use recurring Shifts you have to first build a time frame.

This has multiple Parameters:

Time Frame Type - The basic repetition of the Shift will be explained in further Detail below.
Ordinal - What number should the "Nth" in the time Frame Type be replaced with.
Day of the Week - What day should the "weekday" in the time Frame Type be replaced with.
Month - What day should the "month" in the time Frame Type be replaced with.
First Occurrence - When should the Shift be created the first time.

The following Time Frame Types are available:

'Nth weekday of each month' - The Recurring Shift will be every Nth weekday of each month. If N is 1 and the weekday is sunday it will be on the first Sunday of every month.
'Nth day of each month' - The Recurring Shift will be every Nth day of each month. If N is 5 it will always be on the 5th.
'every Nth weekday' - The Recurring Shift will be every Nth weekday. If N is 1 it will be every week.
'Nth workday of each month' - The Recurring Shift will on the Nth working day of each Month. if N is 1 and the first day of the month is a Sunday the shift will be on the following Monday.
'Nth day of month' - The Recurring Shift will on the Nth day of the selected month every year. if N is 1 and the month is January is will create Shifts on every 1st of January every year.
'Nth workday of month' - The Recurring Shift will on the Nth working day of the selected month. if N is 1 and the first day of the selected month is a Sunday the shift will be on the following Monday.

Recurring Shifts have to be created using the "create_recurring_shifts" command.

Optimally this is executed daily as a cron job oder systemd timer:

0 0 * * * /path/to/manage.py create_recurring_shifts > /dev/null 2>&1

Recurring Shifts are always created from Organization Templates
