1. From the App Launcher, select **Shift Patterns**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Enter a name and description for the pattern.
    
    We recommend that you include key details in the shift pattern name. For example, you can include in the intended start day of a multi-day pattern such as Weekly Regular Hours (Monday).
4. Click **Save**.
5. Switch to the **Related** tab.
6. Find the Shift Pattern Entries related list and add the appropriate shift templates.
7. To add a template, click **New** and then fill out the form fields.
    
    To create multiple shifts per day with the same details, you can add the same template multiple times. You can also add the same template to different days of the week by changing the day position.
