# Shift Times Configuration

**Shift Times Configuration:**

In this settings area, you can:

1. Configure the default shift times that will appear in Shifts and Availability: all day, AM and PM shift times\*
2. Choose to turn on/off AM and PM shift times.
3. Set the names for AM/PM shifts in scheduling.
4. Set the icon for AM/PM shifts in scheduling. 

\*Note: Most resorts only use All day shifts, this is the default and cannot be turned off. 

To navigate to Shift Times Configuration settings, click the gear icon in the lower left of the screen to open Admin Settings->General Settings->Shift Times Configuration.

**1. Configure Default Shift Times**

In *Scheduling*, the times you designate in Shift Times Configuration will automatically populate as you create new shift types. This timing will be displayed to instructors in their schedule view. You can still edit the timings for your various Shift Types in the [Shift Types settings area](https://flaik.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/44001780251-scheduling-shift-types). 

In *Availability*, as Instructors commit to certain days, they will be shown the shift time for the day as displayed in this settings area. 

To edit your shift time configuration:

1.  Enter edit mode by clicking the blue "Edit" button in the top right corner of the screen.
2.  Choose the start and end times you would like to set as defaults from the drop down menu. 
3. Click the "Save" button.

**2. Turn OFF/ON AM and PM shift times**

In this settings area, you have the option to use two other set shift times for your schedule and availability. This option is great if you allow Instructors to commit to half day shifts and you want to differentiate them in the schedule and availability calendar. 

To turn AM and PM shift times ON or OFF:

1. Enter edit mode by clicking the blue "Edit" button 
2. Select the toggle button next to "Use AM/PM shift time configuration at my school"
3. Click "Save". 

If you are turning AM/PM shift times OFF, then you will be confronted with the following modal asking you to confirm that you're about to make the AM/PM shift time configurations inactive. 

* Click "OK" to proceed

**3. Set names for AM/PM shift times configuration**

If you decide to use AM/PM shift times, you can change the names that will be associated with both AM and PM shifts. When you schedule an AM or PM shift time for any given Shift Type, it will appear as "Shift Type name + Shift Times Configuration name" to differentiate them from all day shifts on the schedule. For the example below, the user has chosen a PM shift time (as shown in the green icon) that is named "Afternoon" for the shift type "A Ski." So you will see "A Ski Afternoon" when you scroll over the shift in scheduling.

To edit the AM/PM Shift Time configuration name:

1. Click the blue "Edit" button in the upper right of the settings screen. 
2. Highlight and change the name
3. Click "Save"

**4. Set Icon for AM/PM shift time configuration**

If you are using the AM/PM shift times, you can choose an icon that will be displayed on the shift in scheduling that will differentiate it from other shift times. The All day shift time is set to be marked with a check mark, but you can choose the icon for AM and PM shifts. In the example below, AM shifts have the icon "A" so you can differentiate them from other shift times.

To set the icon for an AM/PM shift time configuration:

1. Click the blue "Edit" button in the upper right of the settings screen.
2. Change the icon name to what you would like displayed.
3. Click "Save."

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.flaik.com/flaik-knowledge-base/for-administrators/admin-settings-product-settings/global-product-settings/shift-times-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
