There are two ways to create recurring shifts in RecStaff:

1. By Copy - allows you to create recurring shifts

2. By Session - allows you to create recurring shifts and lesson sets

Method 1:  By Copy - Copy Week to Week

Copy schedules from one week to the next and mark the schedules as recurring.  This creates a chain of linked shifts for all schedules copied.

This is best for:

    - Simple weekly schedules that repeat consistently week to week

Note: Lesson sets are NOT supported when using By Copy method.

Method 2:  By Session - Session Templates with Lesson Sets

Create a session where you define a start and end date, then choose a template schedule that you've already built or will build.  Within the template, you can add:

    - recurring shifts

    - lesson sets 

This is best for:

    - complex schedules with recurring shifts that have different start and/or stop dates than the                  session

    - complex schedules that have recurring shifts that are linked across the week (e.g., M,W,F swim              lesson)
