What are Shifts?
A shift is a block of time a member spends on duty. Shift time counts towards the member’s quota in the current activity wave.
Shifts page
Clocking In
Members can start and end shifts from:- The department Home page, with Start Shift. If you have shift types, they pick one first. The shift report form opens when they end the shift.
- Melonly CAD, from the Activity menu. A CAD shift ends automatically when they leave the panel. If Require Clock-In is on, the CAD stays locked until they clock in.
- In-game teams, if you set up ER:LC shift automation.
Shift Settings
Shift Types
Shift types split shifts into categories, like Patrol or Training. Click Manage shift types to add, edit or delete them.
When you delete a type, its shifts move to the default type unless you tick Delete related shifts.
Default Shift Report Form
The form members fill in after a shift with no shift type. Create forms on the Resources page first. Use the Shift Start and Shift End question types to fill in the shift’s times automatically.Shift Overview

From a shift’s menu you can view its report, edit its times or type, or delete it.
