Oh good. I was worried

Entering the shifts into the calendar is the pain which made me ask for this thing in the first place. If there would be a way to predefine the shifts as events and then only quickly choose between them it might work.

But then something like the picture I made might be easier then full calendar?

Can you give me an example of a shift plan.

Nicolai

Nope, my shifts are definitely not simpler and there are no recurrences worth mentioning.

We have:
7 early shifts: S3, S4, S5, E4, E5, E6, EZ
5 late shifts: Q5, L4, L5, L6, LZ
3 night shifts: N2, NS, NQ
(wow it looks scary even for me, when it's writen down like this)

not all has different starting times, but mght be different workload.
like S4 has the same times as E4, but you're doing different stuff.

and as an example my plan for february.
NS, NS, NS, NQ, -, -,Q5, Q5, L4, L6, -, NQ, NQ, NQ, NS, NS, -, -, S4, E4, E5, E5, -, -, L4, L4, L4, L4

Thanks again for looking into this.
