Shifts in Microsoft Teams is a schedule management tool that helps you create, update, and manage schedules for your team. Some of the primary features of Shifts include:

  • Schedules: Create a schedule from scratch or import an existing one from Excel.
  • Day Notes: Add notes to share important news and reminders for a specific day.
  • Groups: Name a shift group like a job function or location to keep your groups organized. People can be added to a shift group.
  • Shifts: Choose a slot to assign a shift. Create it from scratch or copy from an existing one. Each shift can contain activities such as training or a specific task. Add open shifts to your schedule that anyone can request.
  • Requests: Review requests for time-off, swaps, or offers.
  • Time Clock: Turn on the Time Clock to let your team clock in and out of a shift with a mobile device. Enable location detection to ensure team members clock in from a designated work site.
  • Share: As you edit a schedule, it will save automatically. Your team only sees the updates when you've shared it out.
