# Shift Patterns

**Shift Patterns** 

* Shift patterns can be created to match the way your shop floor operates on a daily basis. They can be set at Station group or Station level to allow for individual operating hours.

  To create a shift pattern select Shift Patterns in the main menu and click ‘Add New Shift Pattern’

  * Enter the pattern title - this will be used to set the pattern for a Station or Station Group
  * Simply left click on the day and start hour where you want to add a shift.
  * Slide the white adjusters at each end to precisely change the start or end in 5 minute increments
  * Create as many sections throughout the day as needed, to account for shift breaks or change overs.
  * To add a shift that crosses from one day to another, extend the section up to 00:00 on the first day. Then simply start from 00:00 on the next day as required. Busroot will count this as a continuous shift.
  * Right click on a section to remove it from the chart.
  * Click Save to add the shift pattern.
  * Once saved, from the list view, Shift Patterns can be either Edited or Deleted as required

  Once added, patterns will be available

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.output.industries/archive/customer-guide-to-busroot/a-user-guide-to-getting-started-with-your-account/shift-patterns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
