Shift tasks allow you to set specific tasks for a shift that needs to be completed. They can be created for a single employee's shift, or for a team who is working the same shift hours. If the shift is assigned to multiple users, all users will have the ability to complete the tasks together making it a very useful tool for organizations that work in teams.

Adding tasks to a shift will also have a visual indicator on the schedule itself so that you can easily oversee execution.
