A schedule pattern template consists of one or more shifts that repeat over a specified time period and have been saved for reuse.  \nShift Templates make this process easier. If you use these in concert with Pattern Templates, it decreases an otherwise time-consuming task.  \nShift Templates—A Shift Template is a shift that has a name and defined segments and attributes, but no date or assigned employee.  \nExample  \nKaren Ortiz regularly works 8-hour shifts every other week on different days in Solnit South Custody Sachem. You want to create and apply a schedule pattern for the associate that repeats in a schedule planner. You know that a pattern template exists that defines this schedule pattern, so you will use it because it is easier and faster than adding the schedule manually.  \nPattern Template Creation – Navigation  \n\n| Steps to create a Pattern Template Description |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Select the plus tab, then Manage My Department.
