14.4. Organizational time templates and holidays

Organizational time templates are time templates that can be defined and stored in the system. These allow easy specification of a common set of working hours for multiple resources (see Changing working hours). For example a factory may choose to define a time template for each shift of workers.

To define a new organizational time template, in the Admin console, select the FileOrganizational time templates menu item. A dialog appears in which you can choose whether you want to define holidays, or whether you want to define a new organizational time template.

Setting holidays: To set holidays simply click on the selection button Define holidays. Click on the OK button, and a calendar will pop up. Go to the month and date you wish to mark as a holiday and double click it. Continue doing this till you have selected the holidays for the year(s) in question. Click OK when you are done. You now have assigned holidays to all templates that you can use to assign any resource's working hours to.

Defining a new template To define a new template simply click on the selection button Define a new template based on existing template, and select the template you wish to start with, from the drop-down list. On clicking the OK button, a 7 day week view will open up.

Green highlights indicate working hours. By clicking and dragging with the mouse in this dialog, you can set or reset ranges of time in a block to be working or non-working, as described earlier. In this manner, you can quickly set the working hours for each day of the week. To save this format under a new name for this template, simply type in the name you wish to give it in the box at the top of the screen. Click OK to save the template under this name.
