Work Shifts

Overview

Work Shifts are used to set up all the different hours that various departments and staff work.
For each Work Shift, start and end days and times for each day of the week are set.
When a Work shift is updated, a table (WORKSHIFTSCHEDULING) is populated with the shifts for the next ten years. This table makes scheduling easier and can be updated by clicking Actions (button) > Rebuild from Edit View.

If a Work shift contains a blank Day or Time, the Work shift table is not updated.

A 24-hour shift must be setup like: Mon 00:00 > Tue 00.00.
Work Shifts are used for scheduling in the following modules:
- Production Board.
- Production Planning Stages.

Navigation: Main Menu > Setup > My Organisation > Work Shifts (tab)
