# Create a Weekly Pattern

Weekly patterns let you reuse a seven-day schedule across a selected date range. Create a pattern from unpublished shifts in a weekly Scheduler view.

**Navigation:** Products → Scheduling → Scheduler

### Before you begin

Add the unpublished shifts you want to repeat to one seven-day schedule. If you need help creating shifts, see [Add and Assign Shifts to the Scheduler](/main/docs/add-and-assign-shifts-to-the-scheduler).

1. Open **Scheduler**.
2. From the view list, select **Weekly by Employee** or **Weekly by Criteria**. Weekly Patterns is available only in these views.
3. Confirm that the seven-day range contains the unpublished shifts you want to include.
4. Open the **More actions** menu and select **Weekly Patterns**. ![Weekly Patterns option in the scheduler](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image(12).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T16%3A07%3A56Z&se=2026-11-01T17%3A07%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=8USa2A5ya33JCE9ct6ESmYVPTzLZnqjs656EjonVL9M%3D)
