The business process runs as follows:

Anyone working in a shift can create a shift note. The shift note contains information on an event that has taken place in that shift and needs to be documented. The shift note is always assigned to an organisational unit in a company and can reference detailed documents such as a confirmation or a maintenance notification.

       2.      Create shift report

At the end of a shift, the shift manager creates a shift report. The shift report contains all relevant information for a shift, such as the created shift notes and notifications or the processed orders and confirmations. You save the shift report as a document in the system where it can be quickly accessed, checked and countersigned.

Result
