# Schedule

> Block schedules and call schedules, and how they differ

Standard Form supports two schedule types. Most teams build a block schedule first and link a call schedule to it.

## Block schedule

A block schedule assigns people to full rotations over multi-day or multi-week blocks. For example, "Alex is on Wards for Weeks 1 to 4."

It answers: who is on what rotation, and when.

## Call schedule

A call schedule assigns people to specific time slots within a day. For example, "Dr. Patel covers night call on Monday from 7p to 7a."

It answers: who is on call, and when.

## How they relate

A call schedule can link to a block schedule so the call assignments respect who is on which rotation. See [Schedule links](/view-your-schedule/schedule-links).
