Most weeks look a lot like the week before. Instead of placing the same shifts over and over, you can set a shift to repeat, and you can copy an entire week forward in one move. This guide covers both.

Make a shift repeat

When you create or open a shift on the Time Grid, you can turn it into a recurring shift instead of a one-off.

Open the shift you want to repeat.
Tick the Repeat this shift checkbox in the editor.
Choose the frequency:

- Daily — every day. - Weekly — the same day each week. - Bi-weekly — every other week. - Monthly — once a month.

Set when it ends: For [N] occurrences or Until [date].
Save.

From then on, the shift places itself on every matching day, so a Monday morning shift at one home shows up every Monday without you rebuilding it. (If a generated occurrence would collide with an existing shift, that one occurrence is silently skipped.)

The weekly Time Grid, where recurring shifts and copied weeks land.

Choose what your edit changes

Here's the part that trips people up. When you edit a shift that repeats, Enmantle asks how far the change should reach. This matters — a small choice here is the difference between fixing one day and rewriting the whole series.

A scope dialog opens and you pick one of three:

This shift only — change only this one occurrence. Use it for a one-time change: a later start on a single day, a different person just for Thursday.
This and future shifts — change this occurrence and every one after it, leaving past shifts alone. Use it when something changes going forward, like a new standing start time.
All shifts in series — change every occurrence in the series, past and future.

When in doubt, pick This shift only. It's the safest — you can only affect the day in front of you, never the whole series by accident.

Copy a whole week forward

Recurring shifts handle the shifts that truly repeat. But sometimes you just want next week to start as a copy of this week — same people, same homes, same times — and then adjust from there. Copying a week does exactly that.

Open the Copy menu in the toolbar.
Choose the move you want:

- Copy previous week → here — pull last week's shifts into the week you're viewing. - Copy this week → next — push the current week onto the next one. - Copy this week to: + a date — copy into any week you name.

Enmantle fills the target week and shows a toast like "Copied 12 shifts, skipped 2 (conflicts)" — conflicting shifts are left out so nothing double-books.
Adjust anything that's different — a substitution here, a time change there.

This is the fastest way to build a schedule when your coverage is stable but not identical enough to leave entirely on recurrence. Copy, tweak, publish.

Copied and repeating shifts are still drafts

Copying a week or adding recurring shifts does not notify anyone on its own. Everything you place is a draft until you publish it, exactly like a schedule you built by hand. Get the week right, then hit Publish, and your staff are notified in-app and by email. See Build a weekly schedule with the Time Grid for how publishing works.

Next steps

When someone can't work a repeating shift, convert it to open and find coverage.
Recurring shifts respect the picker tiers built from staff availability, so you're always placing people who can actually work.
