This flow works the same for every built-in pattern
The screenshots below use Panama as the example, but the flow — pick a preset, set your anchor date, preview, apply — is identical for 4-on-4-off, DuPont, Pitman, the NHS 3-week rotation and the rest of the pattern library. Only step 3 changes: pick whichever pattern matches your own schedule instead of Panama.
This page follows the fixed-shift option. If your crew swaps between four-week Day and Night blocks, use the rotating 56-day guide.
