Daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly
Pick how often a pattern repeats. Weekly and biweekly let you choose specific weekdays — daily and monthly run without a day picker.
Three tabs, one complete pattern
Build every template in three guided steps — general timing, default assignments, and rates. The same flow admins use inside Crewtic.

Automatic horizon, generate on demand
Active templates keep your roster filled weeks ahead. When you need shifts sooner, Generate now creates them immediately — up to your weeks-ahead limit.
1
Active templates run automatically
While a template is active, Crewtic keeps your schedule filled up to the weeks-ahead horizon you set — typically four weeks out.
2
Generate now on demand
Need shifts sooner? Hit Generate now from the list or detail view to create shifts immediately, up to your weeks-ahead limit.
3
Shifts land on your calendar
Generated shifts appear on your schedule calendar ready to review, adjust, and publish to crew.
Active or paused, your call
Turn templates on when you want shifts to flow. Pause them when a site closes or a role changes — the pattern stays saved until you need it again.
Active
New shifts are created automatically and on demand. Your roster stays filled ahead of time.
Inactive
The pattern is saved but paused — no new shifts are generated until you turn it back on.
Deleting a template removes the pattern only. Shifts already on your calendar stay exactly where they are.

From pattern to published roster
Templates do not replace your schedule calendar — they feed it. Define once, generate shifts, then review and publish like any other assignment.
1
Define the pattern
Set recurrence, times, location, and optional assignee in one template.
2
Shifts appear automatically
Crewtic pre-generates shifts up to your weeks-ahead setting — or on demand.
3
Publish from your calendar
Review generated shifts on the schedule calendar and publish when ready.
Part of workforce setup
Shift templates sit on the same crew and site data as the rest of your platform — locations, assignees, and search all connect.
