We're focusing on new things
No need to worry; you'll still have access to this feature, but unfortunately, we can no longer support the Shift Templates feature after 1st of December 2023. The good news, though, we're replacing it with new and improved features that will be even better. This feature is being replaced by Locations & Shift Layouts. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at support@tymeshift.com.
This is a legacy feature that is no longer available for customers who signed up for Tymeshift after July 27th, 2022. The functionality in this feature is now available in Locations & Shift Layouts.
