What are Shifts?
Shifts are how staff log their activity. Each shift records its start and end time, duration and shift type. Shifts show you how your staff are performing and whether they meet your requirements. You can also create shifts yourself when staff forget to clock in.How Shifts Work
Staff start and end shifts from the Mod Panel or with the Discord command. Melonly tracks online time, break time and shift duration automatically. Shift types sort shifts into groups, and shift reports let staff add notes about a shift. Administrators can edit or delete any shift.Configuration Options
Shift Settings
In-game Requirement and Minimum Playercount only appear once the ER:LC integration is set up.

Shift Types
When you delete a shift type, its shifts move to the default type. Turn on Delete related shifts to delete them instead.
Default Shift Report Form
The Default Shift Report Form is the form staff fill in to report shifts of the default type. Each custom shift type has its own Shift Report Form setting. Shift reports can use the Shift Start and Shift End question types to capture timestamps automatically.Shift Overview
