Attribute Description
Seq The Sequence number is the number of days from the Effective Date for this pattern row. Day 1 is the Effective Date.
Day Sequence No When there are more shifts in a day, you may define Day Sequence Numbers. This flag is used by several key performance indicators, but it has no business logic relating to Time Manager. Time Manager will always use day Sequences of 1.
Facility The Facility to which the Rotating Schedule is linked.
Day The day of the week that the Day Sequence No will fall on in the first rotation. This column is displayed for informational purposes only.
On / Off Specifies this day as a normal work day or an off day. A normal work week would have five working days and two off days. The off days may have different default schedule hours in the event an employee works when they are not scheduled.
Shift The shift for this row and Seq.
Work Period The Work Period for this row and Seq.
Start Time The start time retrieved from the Work Period for this row.
End Time The end time retrieved from the Work Period for this row.
