The [setup](https://docs.levelset.io/schedule/setups.md), the plan of who works which position through the day, reads these rules on the dashboard and in the **Levelset app**, the phone and iPad app your team signs in to, so leaders on the floor see who needs a break and who has been on a position too long. Open **Scheduling > Set up > Scheduling rules**, or click **Rules** in the schedule's toolbar. The page shows the store selected at the top of the sidebar; with none selected it says **Choose a store to see its rules.** Each store has its own rules. There are no default rules. Until a store adds a break rule, nobody is shown as needing a break, and the schedule notes **No break rule set, breaks are not taken off** the hours. Say your store gives team members a 30 minute break at 6 hours, runs no breaks from 11 to 1:30 at lunch, and rotates whoever is on Fries every hour (use your own roles, times and positions). The sections below set that up. ## Ask Levi to add a rule At the top of the page, type the rule in plain words in **Describe the rule you want to add**, for example "Team members get a 30 minute break at 6 hours", and click the arrow or press Enter. Where your organization has Levi, the assistant built into Levelset, the Levi window opens with your sentence and drafts the rule for you to confirm. You can also add every rule by hand, as below. ## Set break lengths by role **Breaks** is how long breaks are, by role, and when each one is due. Each row is a **Role** and its **Break**, read as "30 min at 6 hours": a 30 minute break once the person has worked 6 hours. 1. Click **Add a role** and pick the role, or **Everyone else** for every role without a row of its own. 2. Enter the hours and the minutes for the break. 3. To give a second break on a long shift, click **Add a break** and enter its hours and minutes too. 4. Mark the break **Paid break** or **Unpaid break**. 5. Choose **Required** or **Preferred**, then click **Done**. Click a row to open it again, and **Remove** to delete it. ## Set the times you don't run breaks **No-break times** are the times of day you don't send people on break, such as the lunch rush. Each row has a **Time**, its **Days** (or **Every day**) and its **Area** (or **All areas**). Click **Add a no-break time**, pick the start, the end and the days, and click **Done**. Sending someone on break during a no-break time still works, with a warning. ## Set how often a position rotates **Rotations** is how long someone should stay on one position before rotating off. Click **Add a position**, pick the position from this store's setups, set **Rotate every**, for example 60 min, choose **Required** or **Preferred**, and click **Done**. Once all of the store's setup positions have a rule, the page says **Every position on this store's setups has a rule.** ## Where the rules show up * **On the setup:** the people list beside the setup has a **Breaks** view that groups who **Needs a break** by the break rules, with **Send on break** and **Back from break**. * **In the Levelset app:** on the setup, on a phone or on a store iPad, a person who is due a break is marked, a break that is running shows how long they have been out, and someone over a position's rotation time gets an amber flag that reads like "75 min on Fries ยท rotate at 60". **Required** and **Preferred** say how firm a rule is. A no-break time has no strength: it is always a warning. ## Who can do what | If you notice this | The permission behind it | | - | - | | **Scheduling rules** is missing from **Scheduling** in the sidebar, and there is no **Rules** button on the schedule | Scheduling > Manage Setup Templates, in an organization with Setups | If you're missing something here, ask whoever manages roles in your organization to turn it on. See [Roles](https://docs.levelset.io/team/roles.md). ## Common questions > **Nobody shows as needing a break.** > > The store has no break rule yet, or none covers that person's role. Add a row for their role, or one for **Everyone else**. > **Do the rules apply to every store?** > > No. Each store has its own rules. Pick the store at the top of the sidebar before you change them. > **Someone changed a rule at the same time as me.** > > The page says **Someone changed this rule first. The latest rules are shown.** Check the rule and make your change again. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
