creating weekly schedules

An annual schedule may have up to 12 weekly shift schedules defined and associated with it. A 'none' weekly schedule always appears at the top of the Weekly Schedules List. It is used for clearing out or 'un-assigning' a weekly schedule previously assigned to a yearly schedule.

To create a weekly schedule:

·Go to the Shift Schedule window.  
·Move the cursor to the Work Center field. Choose the work center desired.  
·Move the cursor to the Year field. Choose the annual schedule desired. Any defined weekly schedules for the selected work center and year appear in the Weekly Schedules list, located in the upper left corner.  
·Move the cursor to the Weekly Schedules list.  
·If you want to edit an existing work schedule, click on it. The Work Schedule Chart, located below the Schedules list displays running and idle periods for the selected weekly schedule.  
·To change a shift time, move the cursor to the appropriate field, click, and type over any existing time.  
·If you want to create a new work schedule, click on a row in the Weekly Schedules list that is 'unused'. Click again to set the insertion point. Enter a new name over the unused title. Use the DELETE key to erase any unwanted characters.  
·Move the cursor to the shift name fields. These names default to 1,2,3,4,5,6, Idle, and End Idle. You can change the shift names, which can be up to 4 characters long.  
·Move the cursor to the desired time fields on the Weekly Schedule Chart and click. Type in new times.  
·Click on the Save button.
