Copying a Schedule Forward

Notes:

The following guide explains how to save time defining employee schedules by copying a weekly schedule forward up to 52 weeks in the future.
If the employee works a rotating schedule, you can copy a weekly schedule forward every other week, every third week, or every fourth week as necessary. In this situation, you need to copy forward each week in the rotating schedule separately.

The Employee Schedules window displays.

The Copy Week of window displays.

In the Copy Schedule forward field, select the number of weeks ahead to copy the schedule forward.
In the weeks beginning field, select the week from which to copy the schedule forward.
Select the employee(s) for whom to copy schedules forward.

Every Week = Select to copy the schedule forward every week within the specified date range.
Every Other Week = Select to copy the schedule forward every other week within the specified date range. You should select this option if you use a two week rotating schedule.
Every 3rd Week = Select to copy the schedule forward every third week within the specified date range. You should select this option if you use a three week rotating schedule.
Every 4th Week = Select to copy the schedule forward every fourth week within the specified date range. You should select this option if you use a four week rotating schedule.

Select Do NOT overwrite or delete NON-WORK time (vacations, etc.) if you do not want to overwrite any scheduled "non-work time" work activities.

Note: You can define a work activity as "non-work time" by deselecting Show as Work Time on the Work Activities window.

Select Automatically overwrite existing schedule without prompting to overwrite any existing schedules defined for the employee.
Select Delete 'work time' schedules that match criteria before copying new schedules to delete any existing schedules that have been defined for the employee during the date range in which you are copying schedules forward.
