Work Pattern Properties dialog - Details tab
You use the Details tab of the Work Pattern Properties dialog to edit the name of the selected work pattern and to align the shifts of the work pattern so that each shift starts on the correct day. For example, if the work pattern consists of seven days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc), you could align the Monday shift to a date on which a Monday falls. You only need to align one shift within a work pattern with a date: the other shifts will then fall on the correct day automatically. If you do not align a shift with a date, the shifts may fall on incorrect days.

To access the Work Pattern Properties dialog, right-click a work pattern in Library Explorer and select Properties.

Field | Description |
---|---|
Work pattern name | Enter a descriptive name to apply to the work pattern. |
Align this shift | Select the default shift from which any assignments of the work pattern should start. For example, if the work pattern shifts relate to days of the week, you could select the shift that relates to Monday. |
With this date | Enter the default date with which the selected shift should be aligned. You can select any date on which the appropriate day of the week falls. For example, if you have selected a Monday shift in the Align this shift field, select any date on which a Monday falls, such as 06 March 2000 or 18 April 2011. |
