The copy-paste grind

Your Schedule Repeats Every Week. Your Data Entry Shouldn't.

Most posts run the same hours week after week, yet managers still rebuild the roster from scratch every cycle — re-typing identical shifts, missing one, and burning hours that should take minutes. Repeat Shifts let you set the pattern once and reuse it for as long as you need.

How it works

A Recurring Schedule in Three Steps

1

Create the shift once

2

Choose how often it repeats

3

Novagems builds the whole series

Set it and adjust it

Recurring Doesn't Mean Rigid

Flexible patterns

Daily, weekly, or monthly

Repeat a shift every day, on set weekdays, every two weeks, or once a month. Match Novagems to the rotation your sites actually run — not the other way around.

Edit one or all

Edit one or the whole series

Need to move just next Tuesday's shift? Change that one occurrence. Updating the post permanently? Edit the entire series in a single action — past shifts stay untouched.

Skip exceptions

Skip holidays & exceptions

Cancel a single date for a holiday or one-off closure without breaking the rest of the pattern. The series keeps running exactly as scheduled around it.

Less admin for you.
A steady routine for your team.

Repeat Shifts don't just save you data entry — they give your staff a predictable, published schedule they can count on weeks ahead. Fewer surprises, fewer questions, fewer no-shows.

  • Managers publish weeks of coverage in minutes instead of rebuilding the roster every cycle.
  • Staff see a consistent, predictable schedule well in advance and plan their lives around it.
  • Clients get reliable, identical coverage every cycle — no gaps from a forgotten shift.

FAQ

Repeat Shifts, Answered

What is a repeat shift?

A repeat shift is a shift you create once and set to recur automatically on a schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly. Instead of re-entering the same shift for every future date, Novagems generates the whole series for you, so a post that runs the same hours every week is built in one step.

How do I set a shift to repeat in Novagems?

When you create a shift, turn on the repeat option and choose how often it should recur — every day, on specific weekdays, every two weeks, or monthly — and an end date or count. Novagems then adds every occurrence to your schedule automatically.

Can I edit just one shift in a repeating series?

Yes. You can change a single occurrence — for example, move just next Tuesday's shift or assign a different guard for one date — without affecting the rest of the series. You can also edit the entire series in one action when a change is permanent.

How do repeat shifts handle holidays or one-off exceptions?

You can skip or cancel an individual date — such as a holiday or a one-time closure — without breaking the recurring pattern. The series continues exactly as scheduled around the dates you remove.
