There are various ways how to add new shifts on Parim. You can add them as open shifts or add them directly to a person, you can also create one or multiple shifts in one go. Have a look at the following video about how adding shifts works:
To add an open shift:

2. Fill in the necessary information to create a shift by:
searching and selecting a location
selecting an existing or adding a new position for the shift (click on the three dots next to the position field to add a new one) and choosing the amount of people needed
3. If you would like to add any additional information or instructions about a shift, you can do this in the 'Notes' section on the right-hand side for the empolyees to view.
4. Once you have filled in all the fields, click 'Save' and the shift box will be displayed now on the Schedule in the open shifts area. You can now assign it to an employee by dragging and dropping it next to the name of the relevant user onto the correct date.
To add a shift directly to an employee:
1. Go to to an empty date box on a person´s row and click on it. This will open the same popup window in which you can create new shift but this time the name of that particular employee will be automatically added to the shift.
2. Fill in all the necessary fields and click ‘Save’ - the shift will now show up on the employee’s schedule.
