# Viewing your shifts

> Browse, search, and inspect the shift library for your organisation — default shifts that ship with PlanMyRounds and custom ones your admin team has created.

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 Shift Requirements page

Select **Shift Requirements** 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:

| Filter | Shows |
| - | - |
| **All Types** | Every shift in your organisation. |
| **Default Only** | Just the built-in PlanMyRounds shifts. |
| **Custom Only** | Just the shifts your team has created. |

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.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Custom recovery times on a shift **override** the roster-level recovery settings. If a shift has no custom time set, the [scheduling rules](/docs/rosters/roster-constraints) on the roster apply.

## Edit a shift

Admins can edit any **custom** shift:

**1. Find the shift**

From the Shift Requirements 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.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Default shifts can't be edited. If you need different times or staffing, create a [custom shift](/docs/shifts/creating-shifts) instead.
