How does ShiftFlowr's Weekly Alternating preset work?

Week one contains Early shifts Monday to Friday and week two contains Late shifts Monday to Friday. Both weekends are off.

Can I change the working days?

The built-in preset uses Monday to Friday. Use the custom pattern builder if your alternating weeks include weekends or different rest days.

Weekly alternating FAQ

What if my first week is Lates?: Choose a cycle anchor two weeks earlier or later so the calendar phase matches your current Early week.
What if I work Saturdays?: Use the custom pattern builder; the built-in version keeps both weekends free.

Stop checking which week you are on.

Once the anchor is correct, ShiftFlowr carries the fortnight forward.
