For more visibility in the shift box, a new icon hierarchy was introduced. It will help in cases where more than one icon needs to be displayed in the shift box - the most important icon will be displayed and coloured in blue.

The icon hierarchy for the employee shifts is as follows, where 1 is the most important shift icon. 

• For the open shifts, the icon for published or unpublished will always be visible as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2
