Time Advantage

Daily templates are useful for modifying an employee's schedule for individual days. They are setup similar to Master Schedules. The difference is that they are not marked for any particular date. As a result they can be plugged into an employee's schedule as needed. The Daily Template not only can be set up for worked schedules such as 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM of Regular time but also can be designed for benefit days such as 8 hours Vacation, Personal, etc. The first illustration will show you a mix of different daily Templates created.

There are two ways to add a new Dail Template.

If you are creating a schedule that is the same or very similar to an existing schedule:

Check the box to the right of the schedule to be copied from
Click the Save as Copy button On he next screen give it a Code and modify where necessary

To create a new schedule from scratch:

Click the Add button
Fill out the setup screen as needed

Below is an example of a Daily Template for 8 hours of Personal time. It is set for 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with no lunch to account for 8 hours. When setting up a Daily Template for benefit days such as Personal the Start and Stop time aren't usually important as long as they add up to the correct number of hours.
