Change Shift

Setting up Shifts at your Property allows you to track activity at your Front Desk (revenue exchange) for the different "shifts" during the day to determine the amount of revenue generated (a drawer balance from the shift report) for a specific shift during the day. Typically a property has 3 - "A", "B", and "C" for morning, afternoon, and evening. Shifts are configured in the Property and System Configuration area of Skyware.

If your property is using Shifts, you may need to manually change the shift when a new one starts. This is a simple process using the Change Shift screen.

 

 

 

Depending on your Skyware Systems set-up, you may or may not have a quick menu option for the Other Front Desk Tasks Menu area. If you can, select Other => from the Quick Menu on the left side of the screen to be taken to the Other Front Desk Tasks menu screen.

The only "live" button is the Current Shift drop down list.  The current shift selection will be shown. This option is shown in red, indicating that a selection MUST be made. The drop down list contains all Shifts added using the Shifts configuration screen.
