Shifts
Shift Planning in TilliT allows you to visualize and plan your production shifts in advance
Navigation
Click Shifts in the left sidebar
You'll see a list of your assets
Click on an asset name to open its shift calendar
The calendar displays shifts based on:
Shift Templates you've configured for the asset
Calendar assigned to that asset
Understanding Shift Statuses
Shifts in TilliT automatically progress through different statuses:
PLANNED (Default Status)
Shifts that are scheduled for the future
Auto-generated from your shift templates
Can be modified before they start
Have planned start/end times but no actual execution times
CONFIRMED
PLANNED shifts that you've reviewed and confirmed
Allow you to override auto-filled information
Still haven't started, but are locked in as approved
You can reverse a cancelled shift by confirming it again
It is kept for scheduling records
ACTIVE
Shifts currently in progress
Have actual start times recorded
Track production events and progress
Cannot be manually set, shifts become ACTIVE automatically when their start time arrives or if you start it from the asset.
COMPLETED
Shifts whose end time has passed
Cannot be changed once completed
Have recorded actual start and end times
Associated with production metrics and events
CANCELLED
Shifts that were planned but won't happen
Removed from active production tracking
Can be reversed by confirming the shift again
Working with PLANNED Shifts
When viewing a PLANNED shift, you have two options:
Confirm a Shift
Confirming a shift allows you to:
Review and approve the shift before it starts
Override auto-filled information including:
Number of workers assigned
Start time (From)
End time (To)
Lock in the shift as approved for production
When to confirm:
You've verified the shift details are correct
You need to adjust worker allocation
You want to modify the timing from the template default
Cancel a Shift
Cancelling removes a shift from your production schedule:
Use this when a shift won't be needed (e.g., scheduled maintenance, low demand)
The shift remains in the system but won't affect production planning
This action can be reversed by confirming the shift again
Important Behaviors
Shift Continuity
If you start a shift with the same name within 24 hours of a previous shift ending, the system will extend the existing shift rather than create a new one
This prevents duplicate shifts and maintains continuous production tracking
Shift Validation
Only one shift per asset per day with the same name can be ACTIVE
Shifts cannot overlap on the same asset
What CONFIRMED and CANCELLED Shifts Don't Do
They don't count as running shifts for production tracking
They don't associate with production events
They don't prevent new shifts from starting
They don't trigger target calculations or order progress updates
What Happens When Time Arrives
PLANNED or CONFIRMED shifts automatically become ACTIVE when their start time is reached
Once ACTIVE, shifts begin tracking actual production data
When the end time passes, shifts automatically become COMPLETED
