Calendars

A Calendar is the selection of days on which a service will operate.

Create Calendars

We can create Calendars by following these steps:

• Go to the Calendars view and click New Calendar .
• Select the days of the week that the Calendar will apply to.
• Specify the Intervals by entering a start date and an end date for each.
• You can also create more than one Interval by clicking New Interval .
• The calendar will display the days the Calendar applies to.
• Finally, click the save button to save the Calendar.

Edit / Delete Calendars

• In the Calendars view, click the pencil icon under the actions column of each calendar to access the Edit Calendar view.
• In this view, you can Edit the information or click Delete Calendar to delete it.

Create Calendar Shifts

Shifts are sets of Trips assigned to a driver and a bus.

To create a new Shift, follow these steps:

• In the Calendars view, click the clock icon under the actions column of each calendar to access the Calendar Shifts view.
• Click New Shift .
• Enter a name for the Shift and a time range.
• To select the Trips to add to the Shift, you first need to add them in the Route Schedules (see Add Route Schedules). Check the box on the right for all the trips you want to include in the shift.
• If there are many Trips, you can use filters to search for the Route code and time range.
• Click Save .

Load Shifts from Calendar

Another option to create shifts is by uploading a csv file that can be generated with a program like Excel.

This file will consist of 3 columns in the first row:

• Shift Name: below we will enter the name of the shift.
• Trip Code: below we will enter the name of the trip corresponding to the shift (one per cell).
• Extra Days: below we will enter an X if the trip starts on one day and ends on another.

To upload it, click the button Upload Shifts located at the top of the Calendar Shifts view of each calendar.

If the upload was successful, a modal will open where we will see the deleted shifts in red, the added ones in green, and those matching the current shifts in black.

In case the file contains shifts that we do not want to add or modify, we have the option to deselect them using a checkbox located on the left side of the modal. Then, we click on the button Save . in the modal to save the changes.

Download Shifts from Calendar

We also have the option to download all the shifts of a calendar, whether they were generated from the platform itself or from the csv file.

To download all the shifts of a calendar, click the button Download Shifts located at the top of the Calendar Shifts view of each calendar.

A csv file will automatically be downloaded to the computer.

Edit / Delete Shifts

You can only add or remove Trips from a Shift but cannot change its name after assigning it.

• To Edit, go to the Calendar Shifts view and click on the Shift you want to edit.
• You can assign or unassign Trips using the checkbox (Trips in Shift) on the right of each Shift.
• Use the Next Day option to indicate if the shift starts and ends on different days.
• To delete a Shift, click the trash icon to the right of the shift.
