Shifts

Setting up Shifts at your Property allows you to track activity at your Front Desk (revenue exchange) for the different "shifts" during the day. Typically a property has 3 - "A", "B", and "C" for morning, afternoon, and evening. This is part of the required configuration for Skyware Systems and is initially performed at installation for you. You may however edit the configuration to suit your Property at any time if you have the appropriate access/authorization.

This selection is part of the Property and System Configuration area of Skyware.

How to Configure Shifts:

Select Managers Screen from the Quick Menu on the left side of the screen, then select Configuration > Shifts.

Select Manager's Screen to be taken to the MANAGER'S COMMANDS screen.

Select Configuration to be taken to the PROPERTY AND SYSTEM CONFIGURATION screen.

Alternately, you may also be able to select Configuration directly from the Quick Menu, if the menu has been set up to include the Configuration option.

This will take you to The Property System Configuration Menu.

The list of property configuration options are divided into four sections, which are Required Configuration, Optional Configuration, Locales/Dates and Sub-Systems.

Select Shifts from the Required Configuration section.

The Shift Setup screen display is split into two frames, with the left side of the screen listing any already configured Shifts for the property and the right side containing the fields you need to complete in order to add or edit a Shift for the property. Any changes made on the right, once saved, will be updated in the listings to the left. Enter the different shifts at your property.

The currently configured options can be displayed by:

List Order: List order, a numeric ordering.

Shift Code: The Shift Code assigned to a particular Shift.
