# Shift

Represents a shift for service resource scheduling. Shift is a Salesforce standard object that represents an employee’s availability based on their preferences and constraints. Shifts are created for the service resources (employees) included in a facility plan when the planner sends a request for availability. This object is available in API version 46.0 and later.

For standard fields on the Shift object, see [Object Reference - Shift](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_shift.htm).

A scheduler matches a ServiceAppointment to a ServiceResource object based on a planner’s request for availability. Shifts are linked to a service resource, while service appointments are linked to the facility's planned occupancy.
