Shift (call) schedules are different from block schedules. In a block schedule, people are assigned to full rotations (e.g. “Week 1–4: Wards”). In a call schedule, assignments are shifts — specific start and end times on specific days (e.g. “Monday 7a–7p”).

​
When to use call schedules

Use call schedules for call rotas, shift-based coverage, and similar needs where you’re assigning people to time slots within days rather than to multi-week blocks.

​
Key ideas

  • Shifts — Time slots (day of week, start/end). You can define standard vs extended shifts.
  • Coverage and rules still apply, but in a shift context.
You can create a call schedule from the same “Create schedule” or start flow — choose the Shift or Call schedule type. If your call schedule should respect who is on which rotation when, see Schedule links.
