To edit or creatw a Shift Time in the Shifts
section of the Setup area:
Select a shift time and click Edit; or
click Add to create a shift time.
Name the the Shift Time.
Type the shift start time and duration using a 24 hour
clock. Format: HH:MM Duration is the length in hours from the start
time. Hours may be defined in decimals. This application rounds
up to the nearest decimal. For example, 2.497 hours displays 2.5
hours on the Roster. Shift definition examples and additional formats:
Comma: The comma separates the start time
of the shift and the duration. For example, a shift that starts
at 1:00 PM and runs for nine hours would be formatted: 13:00,9.
Semicolon: The semicolon does two things, sets alternate
shift times; and duplicates the previously defined start time and
duration. For example, a work schedule that starts at 7:30 AM and
alternates between nine hour days and 10 hour days would be formatted: 07:30,9;07:30,10.
An example of using the semi-colon to duplicate the previous entry
could be a weekday schedule where every Friday ends an hour early.
This would be formatted: 07:30,9;;;;07:30,8.
Pipe: The pipe (|) symbol is used to define a shift with
a Critical Time Period. Refer to the Critical Times topic
for more information.
