# How do I create a 4-on/4-off shift pattern?

With a 4-on-4-off shift pattern, the whole shift pattern (and therefore each shift within it) will repeat every 8 days.

  

So, on your Rotaville rota, create your first 8 days of shifts, that is up until the point the shift pattern is about to start repeating.
  

Then set each of these shifts to repeat every 8 days.

  

Now your four-on-four-off rota is complete!
