Working Time Warning dialog
You use the Working Time Warning dialog to specify whether you want to update the time unit overrides of the work pattern whose shifts you are currently editing so that the work pattern defines a day as being the same length as is specified in each of its shifts. You can also specify whether tasks that use the work pattern are updated to use the new definition of "day" or whether they should be left in their current state.
How to access the Working Time Warning dialog
The Working Time Warning dialog appears if you edit all of a work pattern's shifts so that the shifts are inconsistent with the work pattern's time units, ie so that the shifts specify that a day is a different length to that specified by the work pattern.
Explanation of the fields and buttons on the dialog
| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Update existing tasks to use the new time units | Select this check box if you want existing tasks that use the work pattern to be updated to use the new definition of "day", or clear the check box to leave them in their current state (so that their duration will not be affected). |
| Yes | Click this button to update the work pattern's time unit overrides so that the work pattern and the shifts both define a "day" as being the same length. |
| No | Click this button to leave the work pattern unedited. Not editing the work pattern will result in the work pattern and its shifts being out of synchronisation. |
