What is the correct way to express a shift change in a timetable?
Shift changes

@Matthew T4 Can you give us a little more context? Are you talking about a shift change for operators? For machines being turned off? Are you building a healthcare model?

If you're using different operators then you use a different timetable and add the operators to the corresponding shift pattern/timetable. If you use date-based editor then you add the off-shift time and tell it which state to use (offshift).
If you're using the same operators then you may just want to delay them for a small period to reflect the drop in efficiency while they hand over. This is the same for if you're setting the timetable for a machine and are not using operators.
