Here"s hoping i find you well guys!

RE: I have also posted this on accessforums and excel forum

I intend to design a make-shift work rota with your wise guidance. a bit rusty in access but gradually finding my way!

Scenario:
I would like to design a work rota in which i eventually run reports to show what shift an individual is working. There is a fixed number of shifts and each shift also has a fixed number of individuals.

I currently have these tables

Name (ID, Individual)
Month (Day, shift1, shift2, shift3, shift4) x12(for all months)
Shift: (ID, shiftName)
Rota (ID,Name_individual,month_date, shift_shiftName)


My initial though was for every shift value in Month will refer to Rota that in turn shows the id"s of the individuals of the shift on that day. I had intially opted to remove the Shift table.
I am really open to constructive critism as i want to learn and understand this more.
I plan to add holidays but would like to understand how i can link and design the table structure initially. I havent understood templates i found thus trying to understand the basics
