# Shift colors

Each shift type has a roster color. The color is how you tell Morning from Night on Assign shifts and on a printed schedule. Changing a color does not publish the month and does not create pay.

1. Open **Assign shifts**.
2. Click a color already on the row to open **Edit shift type**, or choose **New shift type**.
3. Under Roster color, choose **Blue**, **Teal**, **Orange**, **Violet**, **Rose**, or **Slate**.
4. Choose **Save**.

Drop that color onto an existing shift when you only want to change the color already on a day.

## What you should see

The color chip on the row above the grid uses the color you saved. Dragging it onto a day assigns that shift type. The print legend uses the same colors.

The dialog title is New shift type the first time, and Edit shift type after that.

## If something looks wrong

There is no color row yet. The page says Add a shift type to drag onto the grid. Choose **New shift type**.

**Delete** removes that shift type from the roster. The confirm says this cannot be undone. **Keep assignments, hide from picker** hides it from the row and keeps the assignments.
