The Schedules screen will show all the schedules available to the current partition (See figure Schedules).
Schedules
On larger systems or systems with many schedules, use the search box, navigation arrows or rolodex tab to locate a schedule.
To edit an existing schedule, click the name of the schedule.
To create a new schedule, click the New Schedule link at the bottom of the Schedules screen. This will open the New Schedule screen (See figure New Schedule).
New Schedule
Schedules have 5 properties:
| • | Name - The name of the schedule. |
| • | Description - A description of the schedule (optional) |
| • | Day/Start Time/Stop Time - The Day of the week and the associated Start and Stop times. |
It's common to have a schedule contain many Day/Start & Stop Time associations. For example, WebBrix comes with a default "Business Hours" schedule. This schedule contains five Day/Time associations (see figure Business Hours). Notice that the Start Times are at 8:00AM and the Stop Times are at 5:59PM. This is because Start Times start at the beginning of the minute (8:00:01AM) and Stop Times end at the end of the minute (5:59:59PM).
Business Hours
The Day field also contains Holiday Groups. This feature is used to assign specific time intervals to Holidays contained within a Holiday Group. For example, let's say there's a Holiday Group named "Half Day Holidays" that contains all the weekday Holidays the company will only works half days on. Add a Holiday Group/Start & Stop Time association (see figure Half Day Holiday).

Holiday Group/Time associations will always trump Day/Time associations. In other words, if a holiday group contains a holiday that falls on a Wednesday and the normal Wednesday time interval is 8:00am to 5:59pm, but the holiday time interval is 8:00am to 11:59am, the holiday interval will be applied. |
It's also common to have multiple Start and Stop times for a single day. For example, a night crew might work from 7:00pm until 4:00am the following day (see figure Night Shift).

Finally, it's also common to create a "Never" time interval. This is typically used when creating a a Holiday Group/Time association. The correct Start Time and Stop Time for a NEVER schedule are 12:00am to 12:00am.
