Work Schedules

In this article:

Overview

A work schedule is one of the base data features defined for the Resource Management module. It is not assigned to a specific subsidiary. All defined work schedule types can be used by resources throughout KanBo.

The availability of resources is displayed based on the assigned work schedule. Non-working days are marked with an X.

Example: Resource availability in the Utilization view. Megan works full time and Olivier works half time as an intern. Therefore, Megan has eight hours a day, and Olivier has four hours a day to use.

The work schedule includes specifying the days worked per week and the hours worked per day. We recommend defining company standard work schedules. In case of temporary changes in the work schedule, try the Part-Time Availabilities tool.

Example: Work schedule edition.
