Concept: Self-Service Changes to Work Schedules
Workers assigned to work schedule calendars that use schedule patterns of less than 2
weeks can use the
My Schedule
report to edit their own
schedules.Making Self-Service Changes
Self-service workers can select a day on their work schedules to access the
Edit My Schedule
dialog and make a change that is
effective on that date. They can add an End Date
to limit the
change or leave the field blank to make the change recurring.If workers leave the field blank, their recurring change will override all other work
schedule assignments, including their default assignment and any new assignments.
You can manually add end dates to recurring work schedule changes in mass using the
Mass Update My Schedule Assignments Without End Date
task.The
Edit Days Individually
dialog enables workers to make
changes that are specific to different days of the week in the schedule
patterns.To exit the
Edit My Schedule
dialog or the Edit
Days Individually
dialog without making any changes, always
click Cancel
instead of OK
.
Clicking OK
overwrites everything on your schedule with
the details on the dialog.If you unintentionally change your schedule, you can't undo the change but you
can try to restore your schedule. To restore your schedule, reenter your start,
end, and meal times on your default work schedule calendar and add back in any
ad hoc, one-time, or other recurring changes.
Example: Audrey's Summer Work Schedule
Audrey is scheduled to work every weekday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Starting in July,
she needs to come in to work earlier and leave earlier every day. Audrey uses the
Edit My Schedule
dialog to change her daily schedule to
7:30 AM to 3:00 PM effective on July 1, with no end date.For the month of July she also needs to leave early on Fridays, at 1:00 PM, so she
uses the
Edit Days Individually
dialog to make the change
effective on July 1 and ending on July 31. Her manager schedules everyone on his team, including Audrey, time to attend a
company meeting on the first Friday in July, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. He also
assigns her a new work schedule for the last week of July, where she works from 6:00
AM to 2:00 PM. However, Audrey has a recurring change in effect (7:30 AM to 3:30 PM)
that takes precedence over her new schedule assignment, so she must manually edit
the last week of her schedule for July to match the work schedule assigned to her
for that week.
As a result, this is what her schedule for July looks like:
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |
|---|---|---|---|---|
June 27 | June 28 | June 29 | June 30 | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM |
7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM |
7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM |
7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM |
6:00 AM - 2:00 PM | 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM | 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM | 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM | 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM |
