When you fill an unscheduled shift, you assign an employee to the shift (thus making it a scheduled shift). Filling an unscheduled shift applies only to the Jobs view.

Filling a shift

You can either fill a shift by dragging it to an employee or by selecting the unfilled shift bar and using the action menu.

Filling a shift using dual-timeline views

Filling a shift by clicking and dragging across timeline views is most commonly used method of filling an unscheduled shift.

1. Using dual-timeline views, open the Jobs view in one schedule pane and the Employee view in another schedule pane.
   For more information, see Controlling timeline views.
2. In the Jobs view, click an unscheduled shift bar and drag it to an employee in the Employee view.
   The employee is now assigned to the shift.
