The Schedules page includes a schedule grid that displays scheduling information for up to 100 employees and up to 31 days at one time. You can use the schedule grid to view, create, edit, or delete schedules for one or more employees. Some of the key features of the Schedules page include:

• Combined Employee, Schedule, and Date Filtering

  Although the schedule grid can display information for up to 100 employees and up to 31 days, you may want to use filters to view specific groups of employees and/or specific date ranges. Using employee, schedule, and date filters can make the schedule grid more useful (since you will only see the data you are interested in) and can also improve the application's performance speed.

  You can use the standard employee filter (the same filter used on the Timecard Manager and other pages) to create meaningful subsets of the employees who belong to security groups to which you have access. You can further narrow the set of employees for whom data is shown by applying a schedule filter, which allows you to view scheduling information for only those employees who meet the criteria defined for the active employee filter and who have been assigned schedules that meet the schedule criteria you select in the schedule filter. You can use the date selection tools to display scheduling information for any single day or for any range of  31 or fewer consecutive days.

• Grid View, Total Hours, and Employee Counts

  The schedule grid makes it easy for you to visualize your staffing levels and the effects of any changes you make to employee schedules. A totals column displays the total scheduled hours for each employee for the time period being viewed, while the bottom row displays for each day the number of selected employees with worked schedules on that day, the number of selected employees with non-worked schedules on that day, and the total number of scheduled worked and non-worked hours for all of the selected employees on that day. The grid also displays the total number of employees for whom data has been retrieved, as well as the total scheduled worked and non-worked hours for all selected employees for the entire selected period of time.

• Multiple View Options

  The schedule grid can be configured to display scheduled in and out times, total scheduled hours per day, or scheduled labor charge categories (only two labor charge categories, determined by your system administrator, can be applied to schedules at this time). A compact mode, which displays fewer details about each schedule, allows more employees and dates to be visible at one time in the schedule grid. In all view modes other than compact view, any earnings codes associated with schedule time pairs are shown in the schedule grid.

The main area of the Schedules page consists of two tabs. The Daily Schedules tab allows you to view, create, modify, and delete daily schedules (schedules that are not based on a repeating, template-based pattern) for one or more employees. The Recurring Schedules tab allows you to assign pattern-based recurring schedules, view recurring schedule assignments, and remove or modify recurring schedule assignments for one or more employees.

Each tabhas three distinct action modes that allow you to perform different schedule management tasks. The tables in the sections below list these action modes and the tasks that can be performed from each.

The Daily Schedules Tab

When the Schedules page is first opened, the Daily Schedules tab is displayed by default. From this tab you can view employee schedules and create, modify, and delete daily schedule records (also known as schedule deviations) for one or more employees on one or more days. For instructions on how to perform a task, click the task description in the Tasks column below.

The Recurring Schedules Tab

The Recurring Schedules tab includes three action modes that allow you to view and manage recurring schedule assignments for one or more employees. For instructions on how to perform a task, click the task description in the Tasks column below.
