SHIFT MANAGEMENT

SHIFT MANAGEMENT

As per this link, shift management allows for shift rotation but the current configuration for shifts DOES NOT reflect on a calendar on the desktop when that SHIFT day is considered an OFF day. According to SHIFT setup, we can only create a weekend setting to reflect a day per week that they would not be on schedule. Secondly, ONLY one shift can be assigned per employee per week. Many times with hybrid workers shifts vary by DAY not week. Since the Attendance module shift management in the "Attendance Calendar" menu does not provide for reflection of DAY Shift variances or that OFF shifts should be reflected as "OUT" not on "Weekend" needs updating. Since most Zoho APPS get updates quarterly and this has app has not been updated to be reflective of common requirements for Modern HRIS systems.  Please update this immediately or at least schedule to do so. I would hate to leave Zoho for our HRMS as this is a simple upgrade as you already have an application called SHIFTS.

Later edited to explain further  - 
In People, You can alter which shift is shown by day but not by shift management for the week. When a person has a regular weekly schedule of only Monday Wednesday and another For Friday, then you need to make a DAY shift adjustment, the issue is that the SHIFT ON Tuesday will reflect that their M-W shift has a weekend shift on Tuesday when they ARE really OFF. NOT Scheduled at all. This has made for many daily OFF adjustments so both team members and teams get figure out who is actually coming IN on a GIVEN DAY. The larger your group the more multiple similiar shift creations you will need to make when the weekly primary shift needs to move. This would not be the case if the shifts were day based versus week. The system's modification is confusing. I have over 50 shifts and counting for all team members of less than 20 employees based on varying start times, the type of employee, and the differentiations on whether this is a day off in the middle of the week that needs to be reflected as a weekend. https://workdrive.evergreeninvestments.co/external/9eb5dc1031b9a35636dcd66f390b11f546c45174fc9a7560869b724b827bb141

To get the calendar to reflect that the user is off we not only need to set the weekly shift, we then need to set daily shifts called "OFF" to have a physical reflection for the calendar day view to show the user is not in. This means for every user we are making any where from 3-4 shift requests and then approvals to get the weekly calendar to reflect that the end user is in for specific hours per day and when they are out of office" as a weekly shift with a weekend setting will not reflect that they are not in on the calendar view, you would need to know that this shift means only working limited dates.
