Note:  
This procedure creates and edits a shift for one team at a time. To associate a shift template with multiple teams or groups in one go, use the On-call Onboarding wizard. For more information, see [On-call Onboarding wizard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RBrU9BVHlKxSiZgIkdtGjQ "Use the on-call onboarding utility to create schedules for many groups at once instead of configuring each group individually. The On-Call Onboarding wizard helps you create on-call schedules for multiple teams by mapping shift templates, uploading a roster spreadsheet, and optionally configuring escalation policies.").
