Objective
The objective of this tutorial is to help you understand how you will request just a part of an Open Shift.
Overview
Access from your: iOS mobile device
Applies to: Managers, Supervisors, Scheduler, and Employees
Having the option to request just a part of the whole shift gives you more flexibility when you pick what shift you can work.
Things to know before you begin:
Open Shifts are created by your manager, when created you will receive a notification to fill it up.
Your Humanity Scheduling iOS app needs to be on version 3.8. or newer.
Partial Open Shift Pick-Up functionality needs to be turned on by your Admin or Manager.
The minimum partial shift duration, that can be requested, is defined by your Admin or Manager.

Note 2: You can submit only one request per Open Shift, no matter if it's a partial or full request.
Note 3: In case your partial request gets rejected (if in your company manager manually approves requests) and that Open Shift is still not staffed yet, it is possible to choose a different time interval than the one for which was rejected and submit another request.
