A nurse tracks day, evening, night, off, and rest days without typing each one.
Build shift patterns once, then adjust only the days that change.
Use this when your schedule follows a cycle such as day, night, off, rest, or another repeated work pattern.
Verified app components
- Calendar tab and monthly canvas grid
- More menu pattern creation flow
- FlowPatternQuickCreateDialog presets such as day-night-off-rest, day-evening-night-off, 2-2-3, and 4-on-3-off

Actual flow in the app
- Open Calendar and choose the first days of the cycle.
- Use the Calendar pattern creation action from the multi-date or more menu flow.
- Choose a preset or type your own sequence of labels.
- Save the pattern so the calendar can show the labels on future dates.
- When one date changes, use the pattern exception flow instead of rebuilding the whole pattern.
Real-life examples
A part-time worker enters a 4-on-3-off cycle and checks the month before accepting extra work.
A family member shares only the selected work dates when planning pickups or appointments.
What this page does not claim
- This is about Calendar pattern labels and overrides, not a full payroll or attendance system.

Quick answers
When should I use a pattern instead of multi-date selection?
Use a pattern when the schedule follows a predictable cycle. Use multi-date selection when the dates are irregular.
Can I change just one day?
Yes. Use a pattern exception for the changed date so the rest of the cycle stays intact.
