Working with calendars

You can create multiple calendars for an organization to manage shifts, working time, and non-working time.

Creating calendars
You can create calendars to define working time with a start date and an end date, as well as shifts. A calendar can also specify non-working time, such as weekends, holidays, and shutdowns.
Specifying shifts in calendars
To customize shifts for your business needs, you can define shifts and apply them to calendars.
Applying shifts to calendars
In the Calendars application, you can specify the range of dates over which you want to apply shifts. You can apply the shifts to the entire period defined for the calendar or for a shorter period.
Specifying shift patterns in calendars
To customize shift patterns for your business needs, you can specify the hours in a shift for each day in a pattern.
Specifying shift breaks in calendars
To customize shifts for your business needs, you can specify shift breaks.
Copying calendars
The easiest way to create a calendar that is like an existing one is to copy the existing one and change the copy as needed.
Deleting calendars
If you are no longer using a calendar, you can delete it.
Establishing work periods
You can create work periods for a given date and then customize the work period to suit your business needs. You can also modify work periods, and specify non-working time for work periods.
