Using the app is intuitive for anyone, as easily as entering a schedule on a paper calendar with a pen. ■ Shift entry features Filling in shift information, item by item, into a calendar is a big job. Using SHIFTAR's shift entry features, you just touch the buttons labeled with early shift, late shift, day shift, night shift, and other shift schedule information.
