This guide has been created for system administrators.
Specific role permissions may be required, including: Global rota setup.
Overview:
Hours-based patterns will allow you to set the specific start and end time and can help you in creating a nights-based pattern in which you can also set a fixed duration if required. These patterns work based on hour-based absence type(s), as the booking method will relate to the configuration of the pattern.
Step-by-step guide:
- Navigate to: Admin > Global > Rota setup.
- Press the "+ Add rota" button at the top of the page.
- Set a distinctive name for the new rota pattern. A description can also be added.
- If your rota pattern recurs on a weekly basis, select "Weekly Pattern" and then specify how many weeks are in your rota pattern, below. If your rota pattern recurs on a specific number of days, select Custom Pattern and then specify how many days are in your rota pattern, below.
- Set the "Calendar Day View" for the rota pattern to 24 hours. This setting determines the time period that is represented for each day on the calendar display.
- Set the first day of your rota to be "Hours" and then press the "+ Add" button to set the working time.
- Set the start of the working time to be the start of the shift that falls on that day of the week, and extend the time until midnight of that day.
- For day 2, again press the "+ Add" button to insert working time. This time start the working time from the very start of the day up to the end of the shift.
- Staying on day 2, click in the grey area of the time bar to add a second working period. Set this period as per step 7.
- Repeat steps 8 and 9 for all shifts included in your rota pattern.
- At the bottom of the page, press the "Save" button.
