Create and use shift templates

Last updated: August 16, 2026

A shift template is a recurring schedule: instead of building the same shift for every day it runs, you define it once and Nash generates the shifts on a cadence, rolling forward. Templates live on the Templates tab of the Shifts page.

Note

Fleet and the Shifts page are gated. Availability varies by organization — if you don't see it, reach out to Nash. The Templates tab is hidden if your access is scoped to specific locations.

The templates list

The Templates tab lists your templates with these columns:

  • Template Name (with the template's external ID beneath it, if set)
  • Shift Name — the display name of the shift the template creates
  • Days of Week — the days the template applies
  • Start Time and End Time

Use the search box to find a template by name, and the Store Location filter to narrow the list. Select a row or Edit to open a template. Selecting the checkboxes on one or more rows brings up a bar for deleting them in bulk.

Create a template

Select Create Template to open the Create Vehicle Shift Template drawer. The fields are grouped:

  • Vehicle Shift Name — the name for the shift this template creates, plus an optional External ID.
  • Time and Schedule — the Days of the Week the template runs, and its Start Date/Time and optional End Date/Time.
  • Shift Creation Cadence — how often shifts are generated (for example every two weeks), set under Create shifts every.
  • Create Shifts Up To — how far into the future shifts are generated. This rolls forward over time.
  • Conflict Rule — Override Existing Shift Data decides whether the scheduler overwrites days that already have shifts or skips them.
  • Shift Details — the Start Time (Local), End Time (Local), Default Vehicle Status, Store ID, and Zone IDs applied to each generated shift.

Select Save Template to create it.

Import or export templates

The Templates tab also has a CSV Upload button to create templates in bulk from a file, and an Export button to download your templates. The CSV flow works the same way as importing shifts: choose a file, map the columns, and submit.

The individual shifts a template generates show up on the Shifts calendar, where you can edit or reschedule any one of them.
