# Shift Schedule

It helps organize shifts by date, time, and department, ensuring employees know when they are expected to work. This feature improves workforce planning, reduces scheduling conflicts, and provides clear visibility into shift assignments.

1. **Shift Filter (All Shifts)** – Allows users to filter and view specific shifts (e.g., by employee, department, or job type).
2. **List View** – Displays shift schedules in a detailed list format for easy review and editing.
3. **Calendar View** – Shows employee shifts in a calendar format, providing a visual overview of daily, weekly, or monthly schedules.
4. **Email Schedule** – Sends the generated shift schedules to employees via email for quick distribution.
5. **Today Button** – Quickly navigates back to the current date on the calendar.
6. **Navigation Arrows (Previous/Next)** – Moves between previous and upcoming date ranges (e.g., previous week or next month).
7. **View Options (Month/Week/Day/List)** – Switches the calendar display mode to show schedules by month, week, day, or as a list for better visibility and planning.
