There might be times when it would be helpful to switch one employee's scheduled shift with another employee's shift without having to manually enter the information for both employees. An example of this would be when two employees have asked to work each others scheduled shifts or similar scenario. For example, Employee 1 is scheduled to work from 08:00-16:00 (8:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.) and Employee 2 is scheduled to work from 12:00-20:00 (12:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M.). If you swap schedules, Employee 1 will work 12:00-20:00 (12:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M.) and Employee 2 will work 08:00-16:00 (8:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.).
Caution: You can only swap shifts that have the same job.
