Multiple company schedules
If your company has multiple schedules (for example, for groups of workers in different countries), you can create multiple company schedules in OpenAir, and select the applicable schedule for each user. This feature was designed for multinational companies whose work force may be based in different countries with different work schedules and holidays. It allows more accurate calculation of project task durations, utilization, and realization for companies with an international work force. The current company schedule becomes the default schedule, to which all existing and new users are assigned.
.
To create or modify a company schedule, a user must be an administrator and or have a
role that includes the privilege to "view and modify company schedules" in the My Account section of the role settings.
.
To create a new company schedule:
.
1. Navigate to My Account > Account > Account data > Schedules.
.
2. From the “New entries > Create” dropdown, select to create a new schedule.
.
3. A checkbox is provided to make the new schedule the default company schedule if desired. If the new schedule is not marked as the default, the current company schedule becomes the default schedule, to which all existing and new users are assigned.
.
4. Enter workdays and hours for the schedule.
.
5. Enter any schedule exceptions that may apply. For example, a United States-based company with both United States and Canadian employees could create a separate schedule for the Canadian workers. While the default company schedule would have a schedule exception for Independence Day on July 4, the alternate schedule would have a Canada day exception for July 1. Both schedules would have schedule exceptions for New Year’s Day on January 1.
.
You must provide a description of the exception (mandatory), a start date for the exception (for example, the 2001 Christmas holiday would show the start date as 12/25/01), and the number of hours your employees are expected to work during the exception period (for example, for a full-day holiday exception, you would enter "0" hours, because you would not expect your employees to log any time at all during that period).
.
6.Once the new schedule has been configured, it can be assigned to a single user by going to Account > Users > [select user ID] > Schedule.
.
7.The bulk user change wizard can be used to assign multiple users to the alternate company schedule.
