There are two types of schedule: weekly and custom. The weekly schedule contains 7 days.

The weekly schedule allows setting the length for each day of the week:

  • Schedule days — the length of the schedule.
  • Description — a short description of the schedule.
  • Entity is active — makes it active (inactive schedules can’t be chosen by the user, but it can be used.)
  • Schedule is default — this parameter defines the default schedule, which is automatically selected for new users. In order to make a schedule default one, you need to click Set as default in the action panel.

The length of the working day shall be set in hours (from 0 to 24). Non-integral values can be used.

The custom schedule requires the first day of the period, which is going to be used to sum different parts of it up, and for the general schedule. For example, here’s the schedule for an employee, who works on every fourth day (the schedule starts on January 1st, 2017):
