Roster templates
FIFO roster templates — 6 built-in rotation patterns
FIFO Planner includes six ready-to-use rotation templates covering standard, mining, and custom FIFO patterns. Pick a template, set your swing start date, and the planner calculates every future swing and R&R period automatically. You can also configure a fully custom pattern if your roster doesn't match a standard cycle.
