# Adjust the split of the week

> In Weplanify, the split says how many people you need each day, morning, evening and night, per job: change a number and read what it changes first.

In Weplanify, step 2 of the [generation](https://weplanify.io/docs/planning.generation.generer?lang=en) shows the split of the week. It is calculated from your settings and from who can come: you only change what is different this week.

## Steps

1. Read the table: one column per day, one row per shift (morning, evening, night) with the number of people; the arrow of a shift unfolds the detail per job. At the bottom, the rows **present**, **off**, **away** and, when people are short, **missing**.
2. Click a day or a number: the day opens on the right, each job in morning, evening and night. Set the number with − and +.
3. Read **What it changes**: for example "Fatou Diop will work on Saturday morning. Her day off will move to another day of the week."
4. In **Apply to**, choose **this day**, **monday to saturday** or **the whole week**, then click **Confirm**.

## Good to know

- Lowering a number frees people: a window offers who takes an extra day off this week, suggesting the person with the most days in a row or the fewest days off. Change the choice if you prefer someone else.
- If nobody can come, the day says so ("2 sales staff will be missing") and offers to [take day labourers](https://weplanify.io/docs/journaliers.prendre-depuis-le-planning?lang=en) or to **keep the gap**. Places left empty can be offered at the next step.
- The « … » menu of a job sets **never empty in the morning** (or evening, night) and **Remove this change**. Below the table, **Add a job**; a job removed only counts for this week.
- In terracotta, what you changed; in amber, a shift below the usual number. The usual numbers are set in the [usual split](https://weplanify.io/docs/planning.generation.regles?lang=en).
