The Shifts page is your organisation’s shift library. It’s where you check what’s already set up, search for a specific shift, and — if you’re an admin — edit the ones your team created.

​
Open the Shifts page

Select Shifts in the sidebar. Each shift is shown as a card with its name, time range, and how many doctors are required.
  • Shifts marked Default ship with PlanMyRounds and can’t be edited.
  • Every other card is a custom shift created by your admin team.

​
Search and filter

Use the search bar at the top to find a shift by name. You can also filter the list to show: The sort control lets you order shifts by:
  • Name — A–Z.
  • Duration — longest first, handy for spotting your big overnight blocks.
  • Date added — newest first, useful when you’ve just added a few.

​
See the full details

Select any shift card to open its detail page. You’ll see:
  • Start and end time, and the total duration.
  • Required doctors per occurrence.
  • Minimum seniors required per occurrence.
  • Recovery time settings — hours of rest required after one shift, and after two consecutive shifts.
Custom recovery times on a shift override the roster-level recovery settings. If a shift has no custom time set, the scheduling rules on the roster apply.

​
Edit a shift

Admins can edit any custom shift:
1

Find the shift

From the Shifts page, locate the custom shift card.
2

Open the menu

Select the three-dot menu on the card.
3

Edit

Choose Edit Shift. Update the fields you need to change and save.
Changes take effect for the next roster you generate or edit. Already-published rosters keep the shift definitions they were built with.
Default shifts can’t be edited. If you need different times or staffing, create a custom shift instead.
