In the Expanded View you can see the shifts have been updated to show the split assignment. In this example, the original shift code changed from A7 to E7 for the 7a to 3p portion of the shift. The remainder of the shift is struck through in the NSCU roster. The department code for the new department is displayed. Hover over either shift code to view assignment details.
