Generate ShiftsAs reservations allocate resources to time intervals and the time allocation is based on work shifts, work shifts must be created before the Resource Manager is used. Calendars, Working Days and Public Holidays Shifts are generated on the basis of defined calendar objects. A calendar defines the work time structure by referencing a set of predefined working days of the week and public holidays.
Creating a Calendar As a precondition, let's suppose that working days and public holidays have already been defined.
Generating shifts Once suitable calendar(s) have been created, it is possible to generate shifts. The process of shift generation uses the working days and public holidays of the calendar definition and fills the calendar with actual dates within a specified time period.
The calendar has been populated with shifts according to days in the 'Working days' and 'Public Holidays' tabs and the specified time period. Note that if necessary, it is also possible to manually create or delete shifts in the 'Shifts' reference catalog. | |||||
