Concept: Mass Add Shifts

The

Mass Add Shifts

feature enables scheduling managers to mass add up to 300 shifts at once.

Mass added shifts are always created in draft status. If you mass add shifts on a published schedule, you need to save the shifts in the

Mass Add Shifts

modal before publishing them. You can assign the shifts to multiple workers, with the option to also create a specific number of unassigned shifts.

Workday validates data when you add 1 worker in the

Workers

field. For performance reasons, Workday doesn't validate data when you add more than 1 worker.

You can access the

Mass Add Shifts

feature from the

Actions

menu in Day or Week view, or by clicking any day of the week on an unassigned row or blank space on a worker row.
