A working time entry denotes a particular area and may be used to identify different countries or regions that have particular working practices. You can also use a working time to identify part-time workers and so define when they work.
Each working time will have a calendar defining the working days and non-working days, thereby ensuring more accurate planning by allowing for local holidays and other non-working days.
You will specify a working time for projects and resources. This ensures that available time is correctly matched to requirements.
The view starts with a search screen so that you can locate required working times:
Click:
•Add to create a record (described next).
•Copy Calendar Overrides allows calendar overrides from one working time to another. You can, for example, create a calendar with all public holidays set and then use this as the basis for another calendar without having to re-enter all the holidays:
o Source Working Time identifies the working time from which the overrides are to be obtained
o select Merge if settings in the destination file are to be left unchanged if there is no corresponding source entry, otherwise Replace if the source field is to be used completely so all destination entries are omitted
o Period sets the dates for which entries are to be copied
o Destination Working Times identifies one or more calendars to which to copy. Click Add to select calendars or Remove to delete from the list. Click Copy to output the settings to the destination calendars.
