Manage Your Shift Schedule in Field Service
Identify which shifts are covered, and which ones still require a worker to confirm that they’re available. The list view for shifts lets you examine upcoming shifts and their status. Switch to the schedule view to see shifts grouped by service territory or job profile in a calendar.
