Two Caregivers at a Time

Setup: A service needs a second caregiver for all or part of a shift.

Procedure:

1) On the Planner, click on the Shift menu, up in the top-left.

2) Click on Add new Open shift.

3) Select the date of the new shift and click on OK.

4) Type in the times for the shift (for example, "1-3" or "230-530").

The new Shift will appear, ready to assign to a Caregiver. Note that there are a number of ways to accomplish this, depending on the situation. If it's an ongoing need, you can either set it up on the Planner and copy it forward in Times for Service, or you can just set it up in Times for Service in the first place (see Entering Time Patterns).
