You can add multiple lines to a schedule as long as the times don’t overlap. To add a line to the schedule click the green arrow icon. This will save your current line and add a new blank one. You can also use the pencil icon to edit a line, the trash can icon to delete a line and the red cancel icon to cancel a line.

Once you have finished entering the schedule click the Finish button to save.

Schedule Details

When you have finished the wizard you will be taken to a details page where you can review the details of the schedule you just created or edited. You will be able to view the Weekly Paid Hours, Shift Details, as well as the names of the Users who have been assigned this schedule.

More Info…

A worker gets associated to a specific schedule on a position to which the employee is also attached. So once you’ve created or edited a schedule, you can go to the Positions page and view/edit the relevant position to select a new schedule for the relevant Users on that position, or to verify that an edited schedule is appropriately attached.

If the schedule you want has already been created, you can forgo the previous steps and go straight to the Positions page where you will be able to select the appropriate schedule.
