# How Do Gaps Work?

## Have Questions? We're So Glad You Asked!

### **What kind of witchcraft are 'Gaps' and how do they work?**

Gaps are time periods in which your schedule is missing a Pharmacist. Lopic's scheduler engine intelligently runs through all your shifts and jobs to scout for a time period that does not have a Pharmacist present. 

###   
What do we do then?

Lopic displays all gaps on your Pharmacy and Branch dashboard.

You can click on any one of these gaps and create a 'Job' or 'Shift' against them.

#### You're all set now!
