To access the Recurring Schedules - Assign Multiple mode, select Schedules from the Time & Attendance menu. (If the Schedules menu item is not visible, make sure you have selected the Manager role.) Then click the Recurring Schedules tab and the Assign Multiple action mode radio button.

The Recurring Schedules - Assign Multiple action mode allows you to assign recurring schedules to multiple employees. A recurring schedule is a repeatable weekly or multi-week schedule pattern, defined by a practitioner based on common work schedules used in your company. For more information about recurring schedules, see Understanding Recurring Schedules.

The schedule grid displays scheduling information for all of  your filtered employees, allowing you to view the effects of your new recurring schedule assignments on your overall staffing levels.

The sections below describes some of the features of the Recurring Schedules - Edit Single mode. For step-by-step instructions on using this mode, see Assigning a Recurring Schedule to Multiple Employees.  

Note: You can view recurring schedule information for all of your filtered employees from any of the Recurring Schedules action modes.

Selecting Cells in the Schedule Grid

In the Recurring Schedules - Assign Multiple mode, you select employees rather than dates from the schedule grid. To select an employee, click the employee's name (or any date in the employee's row of the schedule grid). To select multiple employees, simply click each employee name. Each employee you select will be added to your cumulative selection and will be highlighted in a blue-green (teal) color. To deselect a highlighted employee, simply click the employee's name again.

Tip: To select a range of consecutive employees, click the name of the first employee you want to include in your selection, press and hold the ALT key, and then click the name of the last employee you want to include. Both employees and all of the employees listed between them will be selected. You can use this method to select all of the employees in the grid. You will have to use the vertical scroll bar if you want to select more employees than are visible on one screen.
