## Shift Management

Melonly makes shift management extremely easy. It features a way to start your shift, go on break, end your shift, and even call for more staff!

### Starting Your Shift

Starting your shift with Melonly is easy. To begin, navigate to the [Moderator Panel](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] and press the green "Start Shift" button.

If you are prompted to select a shift type, make sure you select the green "Default" button.

If your shift was successfully started, you should see two new buttons:

* Break
* End Shift

### Going On Break

If you need to go on break for any reason, just click the orange "Break" button. When you come back, don't forget to go off break when you come back.

### Ending Your Shift

Ending your shift is just as simple as starting your shift or going on break; just press the red "End Shift" button. After that, you will be marked as off duty.

## Creating Punishment Logs

To create a punishment log, you need to click the "Enter username" text box in the top center of your screen. Then, you will be able to enter the username of the person that you want to punish.

[^1]: The moderator panel is the main page that a staff member will use. It features the ability to create logs, manage your shift, review priority requests, and much more. Can't find the moderator panel? It is linked at the top of your screen.
