The Shifts app in Microsoft Teams is a schedule management and time-tracking tool that helps you create, update, and manage schedules for your team. 

  • Schedules - Create, edit, and manage a schedule for your team. A Shifts schedule displays days at the top, team members appear on the left, and assigned shifts appear in the calendar. 

  • Schedule settings - In Shift settings, define the schedule options and choose the Shifts capabilities that you want to make available to your team.

  • Groups - Add schedule groups to organize team members in the schedule by job type or location. 

  • Shifts - Assign shifts to team members. Create a shift from scratch or copy an existing one.

  • Open shifts - Each group in the schedule has an Open shifts row. Add open shifts to your schedule that anyone can request. 

  • Time clock - Turn on Time clock in Shift settings to let your team clock in and out of shifts.

  • Requests - Review and respond to requests for time off, open shifts, shift swaps, and offers.

  • Tags - Use shift-based tags to quickly communicate with anyone currently on shift.

  • Publish your schedule - When you're done making changes to the schedule, share it with your team so everyone is up to date.
