Shift Groups

Shift Groups are used to separate groups of shifts from each other.  One example of using multiple shift groups is if the shift times are different between the summer and winter months.  A group can be created for each, then each would have their appropriate shift definitions.  Switching between the two sets of shifts is as easy as disabling one then enabling the other.

Another scenario where shift grouping are used is when there are overlapping shifts in different parts of the plant.  For example, one part of the plant runs 3 eight hour shifts while another part of the plant runs 2 ten hour shifts.  In this case once the shift groups have been created the Shift Equipment form is used to assign equipment to the appropriate shift.

Shift groups are associated to a Plant and at least one shift group is required.
