The planning situation

A team uses a four-week repeating duty pattern starting on an agreed date.

The constraint to resolve

The first active week is anchored to the beginning of the month instead of the approved cycle.

Set up this specific workflow

Set the recurrence's first occurrence and four-week interval deliberately, using separate patterns for distinct rotation weeks.

Work in the workforce shifts workspace. Use your organisation’s actual dates, timezone and opening hours. Presets are editable starting points; they do not supply a country’s calendar or verify organisational policies.

Check the result before publishing

Review a full cycle of actual dates including closed dates; skipped occurrences do not automatically redefine the rotation.

Resolve unplaced activities and reported conflicts, inspect the relevant people and resource views, and publish the reviewed version deliberately.
