Walkthrough: Create Shift Pattern Templates on Bloomily

  1. Open Team > Schedule > Edit shifts.

  2. Choose Add a shift and enter its name, start time, end time and color.

  3. Choose the default option only if intended, then select Save shift.

  4. Review the saved shift template before applying it to staff.

A shift template is reusable setup. Creating it does not establish that a staff member worked those hours.

The recording uses one center’s example data and settings. Names, amounts, dates, counts and policy choices are examples. Follow the written guidance above where recording labels differ.
