# How do I use the shift data source?

## Manage your shifts in one space and all your forms will immediately update

The Shift Management section of the app is where you manage this data source.  Any changes you make in the Shift Management page will be immediately reflected in all shift fields in your forms.

**What is a data source? **

Data sources are centrally managed lists that can be selected by staff within forms. Data sources help to standardize the data that is captured and make form building more efficient

 

Use the shift data sources in 2 steps:

#### STEP 1 

Add your shifts to your app by tapping the green button.

#### That's it! 

Now any time an administrator creates, edits, or deletes a shift in the "Shift Management" page in the app, the changes will be immediately reflected in all shift fields in all your forms.

Note:

Switch your shifts to draft to temporarily hide them from the dropdown.
