The Replace all schedules on the selected dates with this schedule update mode allows you to replace all existing schedules (both daily and recurring) on the selected days for the selected employees with a single new schedule that you define in the property sheet. This is the default update mode when you first select the Daily Schedules - Assign Multiple action mode.

To replace all preexisting schedules in selected schedule grid cells:

1. From the Home page, click the Schedules link.

2. Select the Assign Multiple radio button. The Replace all schedules on the selected dates with this schedule update mode will be selected by default.

3. In the schedule grid, select the cells that represent the employees and dates for which you want to replace all existing schedules with a single new schedule.

   Tip: Depending upon how your system is configured, an employee may have more than one Employee ID. You may need to adjust the Employee Filter and Schedule Filter, change the date range, and/or use the scroll bars if the employees and/or dates are not visible in the schedule grid.

4. In the property sheet at the top of the page, enter Time In and Time Out time for the new schedule. These fields are required.

   Notes:
   In most cases, you do not need to enter a value in the Hours field. ezLaborManager will calculate the hours for the time pair when you apply the schedule. However, if you are using an hours-based earnings code (for example, a non-worked earnings code such as Vacation or Jury), you must enter the total hours rather than in and out times.
   
   To use schedule properties you have saved as a Quick Shift, click in the Quick Shift area, select the appropriate shift, and then click . For more information, see Using Quick Shifts.

5. If desired, use the buttons to select an earnings code, a lunch plan, a shift rule, a Flextime rule and/or one or two labor charge codes to be associated with the schedule.

   Tips:
   These fields are optional. If you do select or enter values for these fields, they will override the employees' assigned defaults.
   
   Although your company may use more than two labor charge categories, only two labor charge fields can be associated with a schedule. Your system administrator determines which labor charge fields are available for use with schedules, based on your company's configuration.
   
   If you have applied a Quick Shift, these fields will contain the values (if any) associated with the Quick Shift you selected. You can edit these values if necessary. (Any edits you make will not be saved back to your Quick Shift definition unless you click and then OK.)
   
   If your company has chosen not to use the optional Shift Rules or Flextime features, the Shift Rule and Flextime Rule fields do not appear.

6. Click the Apply button. The newly created schedule will replace any and all schedules in the selected cells in the schedule grid, and a small blue triangle will appear in the bottom right corner of the affected cells to indicate that the cells contain unsaved changes.

   Note: Using the Apply button does not save your changes. Your applied changes are not saved until you click the Submit button. If you navigate out of the Daily Schedules tab without submitting your applied changes, they will be lost. You can remove your unsaved changes, if desired, by clicking the Cancel button.

7. Click the Submit button to save your changes.
