# Create and Manage your Schedule in Swept
## Shifts are the building blocks of scheduling in Swept.
### **How to create a shift**
- On the Swept Web App, select the "Scheduling" section on the left side.
- Select the green "+ Upcoming Shift" in the top right corner.
- Select the correct Location, Date, and Time for the shift.
- Shifts can either be set up as a single "one-time" shift, or as a repeat shift
- If you select "repeat shift", you will be prompted to select the cadence of the shift and if/when the repetition of the shift ends.
- ***New:*** You can also select whether this shift is paid via the default payroll settings, or if you'd like to change it for this shift only (pay by recorded hours vs. scheduled hours). For more information on Recorded Hours vs. Scheduled Hours, visit [this article](https://knowledge.sweptworks.com/knowledge/download-payroll-report?hsLang=en).
👉 **Ensure your Users are assigned to locations. Cleaners assigned to shifts that are NOT assigned to locations won't see location details (Security Information, Cleaning Instructions). Any cleaner that is not available due to scheduling conflicts for the shift in question will be crossed out.**
### **Who can make create and update schedules?**
Managers and Supervisors with the scheduling permission activated can update your company’s schedules.
**Key Points:**
- The Location, Start Date and Time and End Date and Time must be entered to create a recurring shift. The "Repeat Shift" box not be editable until this information is entered.
- When you add, edit or delete a shift, users assigned to the shift change will get a schedule push notification to their phone if they’re logged in to the app and alert within the Swept Mobile App.
### **How to Edit / Delete a Shift in Web App**
Log in to the[Swept Desktop App](https://app.sweptworks.com/). In the left-hand menu, click "Scheduling". This will take you to the list of **scheduled shifts.**
**NOTE:** To edit a scheduled shift to a future date and time, be sure to edit the end date and time before editing the start date and time.
### **To Edit the Shift**
- Click on the line of the shift you want to edit
- Make changes to your shift. Click **Save**.
- If it is a single shift, the changes will be made to that shift
- If it is a repeating shift, when you save, you will see two options:
- **Only this event: The** edits will only apply to the shift in the series you are editing. If you select a future-dated shift, edits will only apply to this shift.
- - - **This and future events** - This will edit the current and future shifts in the repeating series. It will NOT include any shifts that were edited using "Only this Event".
### **To Delete the Shift**
- Click on the line of the shift you want to delete
- Click on the arrow in the blue "**Save**" button, the delete, and select **Delete.**
- You will be asked if you want to **delete** only **this event** or **this and future events**
- **Only this event:** Thisoption will only delete this one shift in a repeating series
- **This and future events** -This will delete the current and future shifts in a repeating series. *This includes any shifts that were edited using Only this event. Any historical shifts will remain.*
### **Schedule List**
The schedule list is where you can view, add, and update upcoming shifts. Schedules are separated by day. Within the header for each day, you can see how many hours are scheduled.
**NOTE:** These hours only include active user hours. If a shift is unassigned or has inactive users, then those hours will not be included.
