###### How to schedule a recurring shift

Use the **Repeat** dropdown to set how often the shift should recur—daily, weekly, monthly, every weekday, or custom. If you want to select specific days of the week (instead of all weekdays), choose **Custom**, set it to “Repeats every 1 week,” then select the desired days.
