Time Advantage

The Schedule Template screen is for creating employee Master Schedules. On the screen below is a list of schedules already created. When setting up the schedule you can assign it to a particular Calculation Rule or to all. There are two ways to add a new schedule.

Use "Save as Copy" 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

Use "Add" to create a new schedule from scratch:

Click the Add button
Fill out the setup screen as needed

Scroll down for details.

Below is a setup screen. To create a schedule:

Cost Center, Departments, etc.- If Home Labor Distribution centers are not being used but instead will be scheduled, enter them in the appropriate spaces

Once the first day is created you can continue creating each day the same way or you can use Save as Copy. In the example below, once the first day is done, check the box to the left of that day then click Save as Copy 6 times. This will create a 7 day schedule. At this point, just modify as needed. For instance if the first day was an Off day then all days will also be Off using Save as Copy. Just toggle the days that are to be On from Off to On in the On/Off column. Save when done.
