The Shift Types frame allows you to create and maintain a list of codes to group individual shifts together on the Shift Maintenance frame for shop planning purposes. A shift type can contain numerous individual employee shifts. For example, you might want to group together all shifts starting at 9:00 AM into a single shift type called DAY SHIFTS.
To create a new shift type, select the blank Schedule Shift field and enter a new code. This field has a limit of five numerical characters. Enter a Description for the new code. This field has a limit of 30 characters.
For example: 1 - DAY SHIFTS, 2 - NIGHT SHIFTS, 3 - WEEKENDS
When finished with the entry, select the SAVE button at the top of the frame. The new shift type will now be available for use.
You can only modify the Description of an existing shift type. To change a description, select the Description field and enter the new description over the existing one. Select SAVE when finished to update the record.
To disable a shift type, select the Disabled checkbox in the row of the shift type you want to disable. Select the SAVE button to disable the code.
You can delete a shift type provided it is not in use on any other tables in the system. If the code is in use, you are unable to delete it from the list.
To delete a shift type that is not in use, select the Schedule Shift row of the shift you want to delete to make it active. Select the DELETE button at the top of the frame. The selected row will turn red. Select SAVE to delete the shift type.
