# Task Shift

### Overview

The **Task Shift** feature allows administrators to define and manage shifts used for **Workforce Tasks** within the property.

Task shifts help organize workforce tasks according to the employee's working period, such as **Morning, Evening Shift,** or **Night Shift**.

Each task shift can be configured with a **shift name, color, display order,** and **active status**. The configured shifts can then be used when managing and assigning workforce tasks.

### Task Shift Screen

The **Task Shift** screen displays all configured task shifts along with their assigned color, display order, and active status.

The screen provides the following information:

- **Shift** — Displays the name of the configured task shift.
- **Color** — Displays the color assigned to the shift for visual identification.
- **Display Order** — Defines the order in which task shifts are displayed.
- **Active** — Indicates whether the task shift is currently active and available for use.

Administrators can create a new task shift using the **Create** button.

The panel allows the administrator to configure a new task shift using the following fields:

- **Shift**
