Shift Schedule

The Shift Schedule window is used to create, assign, delete and change work center schedules. If no schedules have been defined, the window appears blank. To create a work center's shift schedule, use the New button.

Shift schedules define the start time and end time for work shifts, idle times for holidays or weekends, and any other events when jobs should not be running or have special needs. Shift schedules are not required but they do provide the flexibility to control part of the job process. If shift schedules are not created, all jobs run all the time.

Shift schedules are created for a work center. Each work center has multiple schedules -- one for each year desired. Each year schedule may have up to 12 different weekly work schedules. There must be at least one work center defined before access to the Shift Schedule window is possible.

NOTE: You must have the Scheduling privilege in order to access this window. See your System Administrator if you need this privilege.
