Dividing the schedule into periods

Once the operator schedule has been created, the schedule is divided into blocks. A block represents a shorter period of time within the schedule. Inside each block, operator work hours are defined. The blocks are repeated relative to the start date of the operator schedule, which makes it possible to define rolling schedules.

Adding a block to the schedule

To define blocks inside an operator schedule, first click the specific schedule from the Operator schedules list view. The Edit operator schedule page displays.
